THE Guyana Police Force wishes to respond to an article published in the Kaieteur News of Sunday May 12, 2013, under the caption ‘Brazil mob may have executed Guyanese couple over stolen cache’.
From the outset, the police have been advising the public that information stated in the article purportedly coming from “police sources” is totally false, and the Police Force wishes to express grave concern over these falsehoods and speculations which are likely to incite violence against persons of a particular nationality who reside and are working in Guyana.

While some facts concerning the murder of Jason Wills and the Mootoos are still unknown, the police have a lot of intelligence and evidence surrounding the murder of Intaz Roopnarine which led to the arrest and charge in the matter.

The public will be made aware as the trial progresses that the circumstances surrounding the death of Roopnarine are quite contrary to the speculations stated by the Kaieteur News in the article.
 
Finally, the Guyana Police Force is once again urging the Kaieteur News to act with a sense of responsibility and professionalism when making their publications.
