THE suspects in the Trevor Rose murder probe, who were arrested and held for 72 hours, have been released on station bail.
The men were being sought by the Police for questioning about the execution of the designer and events promoter in January.Last weekend they were both apprehended and questioned before being let go earlier this week, Crime Chief Seelall Persaud confirmed to the Guyana Chronicle.
The Deputy Commissioner (Crime) could not say, however, at which Police station the men had been detained, how much bail was granted them and exactly when.
Asked if the Police took possession of the passports of the duo, after they were placed on bail, he responded in the negative
Persaud pointed out that the Police still need to uphold the law and respect the rights of persons, so their travel documents could not have been confiscated unless those were the subject of the investigation.
The Crime Chief had indicated, then, that there was no evidence that the death of the designer/events promoter was drug related but the suspects who were being sought, in this case the two men recently released on bail, will help the Police with some of the information they are looking to get.
Last January, Rose was killed execution style while he and a female companion were in a taxi that stopped at a traffic light on the outskirts of the city.
Another car pulled up alongside the one in which the designer was travelling and opened fire on the occupants with much focus on Rose who was in the back seat with the woman.
Police are continuing their investigations into the crime and more arrests are expected.
