CRIME Chief Seelall Persaud revealed, yesterday, that the 7.62 spent shells recovered from the scene of the Police Corporal Romain Cleto fatal shooting, match those found at the Pine Grove, Meadowbrook Gardens house, in which miner Jason Wills was shot dead.

The Deputy Commissioner of Police said ballistics testing confirmed the comparison with those retrieved from Avenue of the Republic near the Plaisance Bus Park, also in Georgetown, where Cleto was killed in front of Bank of Baroda.
Two other ranks, also in the group trailing a vehicle through the city, were injured when a gunman opened fire as they approached it.
It happened about 18:40 hrs on April 27 when Cleto, 25 and a father of one, was fatally wounded while Constable Randy Daly suffered a gunshot to his left arm and Constable Anil Persaud was injured by shattered windscreen glass.
Persaud said that the Police found two sets of spent shells at the scene, 7.62 and 9 mm types, numbering more than a handful.
Two men, Shaka Chase and Reagan Anthony Rodrigues, had been arrested for the murder but were both released after the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) intervened.
Meanwhile, following the killing of Wills, several persons, including the two who were in the house at the time he was cut down by a hail of bullets, were detained for questioning but were also let go, later.
Persaud said .45 and 7.62 spent shells were taken from that crime scene after Wills also called ‘Teddy’, 33, was executed on January 31, while watching television in the Pine Grove, Meadowbrook Gardens, Georgetown, home of a friend.
It was reported that two gunmen scaled the fence and entered the house through an unlocked front door and sprayed the surprised Wills with bullets from two guns.
The gold miner had journeyed from Mahdia, Potaro, to spend some time in the city and was staying at the friend when he was executed with seven gunshots to the body about 20:00 hrs.
To date, no arrests have been made in connection with his murder.
