THE Guyana Police Force has issued a wanted bulletin for Muammar Jabbar, also known as Omar, of Lot 33 James Street, Albouystown, Georgetown, who, two weeks ago, is alleged to have fatally stabbed 28-year-old Tadaskie Marshall, also known as ‘Tallo’, of 11 Hogg Street, Albouystown, Georgetown.

Tallo died while receiving medical attention at the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH), while Jabbar went into hiding and has since not been seen.

The police are asking anyone with information that may lead to the capture of Muammar Jabbar, aka Omar, who is now at large, to contact the nearest police station, as he is wanted for questioning for the murder of gold miner Marshall.

The police describe Jabbar as a thin man, brown in complexion and of African descent.

RECAP
On August 20th, Jabbar reportedly stabbed Tadaskie Marshall after the two had an exchange of words in relation to a running issue pertaining to some money and gold jewellery. Tallo was stabbed to his chest several times, and died as a result of his injuries.

The wanted man was reportedly given some money by the dead man’s brother to make a gold band and chain, but those items were never produced, nor was the money handed back to its owner.

Relatives of the dead man claimed the assailant had told them he had used the money to purchase cannabis (ganja). He allegedly promised to repay the money or ensure the requested gold items were made.

But as time elapsed, the items were still not produced; and Jabbar was suddenly spotted wearing a gold chain which the late Tallo’s relatives strongly believe had been made with Tallo’s money, since he, Jabbar, had previously owned no gold jewellery.

Marshall approached Jabbar on several occasions, seeking an explanation as to why the items had not been produced, and when those would be ready; but, like his other relatives, he was told the items would be produced.

Marshall reportedly saw Omar and his suddenly-acquired gold chain around his neck, and confiscated it. From then to the day of the incident, the suspect had vowed to reclaim the chain from Marshall.

Persons in the area who claim to be familiar with the transaction did state that after confiscating the chain from Omar, Marshall would wear the chain around his neck without looking over his shoulder. They said he adopted that approach because he had been confident that the chain belonged to him.
