Interpol help being sought to get one fugitive
COMMANDER of Police ‘D’ Division, Senior Superintendent, Christopher Griffith said yesterday that collaborative work will continue with Interpol in the effort to get the Guyanese man who knifed his wife to death on January 17 and fled the local jurisdiction. However, investigations are continuing locally and relatives of the fugitive are being encouraged to get him to return to Guyana.
The body of Roshcell Rodney, 33, of Boodhoo Housing Scheme, Blankenburg, West Coast Demerara, was found at about12:00 hrs in the kitchen of her home with multiple stab wounds.  Three bloodstained knives were taken from the scene by police.
Acting on information received, that the suspect had escaped in motor car PNN 9420, police countrywide were alerted and the vehicle was, subsequently, discovered to have been abandoned on the public road at Carlton Hall, Mahaicony, East Coast Demerara.
A post mortem examination performed on the dead woman, by Government Pathologist, Dr. Nehaul Singh, confirmed the cause of death as asphyxiation due to a severed trachea, as a result of one to the neck compounded by other incised wounds.
Meanwhile, police are still investigating the murder of Afrozie Ali called ‘Lizzie’, of Zeelugt, East Bank Essequibo, whose corpse was removed from the Zeelugt Cemetery on Sunday, January 15.
About 09:30 hrs on Wednesday, January 18, the prime suspect was arrested by members of the Tuschen Community Policing Group and handed over to the investigators.
An autopsy on the woman’s remains, also by Dr. Singh, disclosed that she died from manual strangulation compounded by blunt trauma to the head.
In relation to the New Year’s Day killing of pensioner, Bibi Jahooral Banu, 63, of Lot 5 De Willem, West Coast Demerara, Griffith said it appears that she was killed by person (s) known to her.
Her partly nude body was found about 15:00 hrs on Sunday, January 1, in a room on the lower flat of her house with a piece of cloth wrapped around her neck.
A man was held since the probe started but he was released.
