Deputy Commissioner of Police, Seelall Persaud yesterday told reporters after the opening of the Guyana Police Force (GPF) and Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Drug Investigators Course at Police Officers’ Mess, Annexe, Eve Leary, Georgetown that Dianand was executed by someone known to him.
Persaud added that the narcotic agent received two gunshots and his slumped body was found in his car.
