–being pursued periodically

CRIME Chief Leslie James yesterday told this publication that in relation to cold cases such as Orvin ‘Champo’ Millington and his brother, Vibert ‘Vibey’ Weeks, both of whom were gunned down execution-style in separate incidents, a review of those cases are done and instructions are that it should be pursued periodically.

The Senior Superintendent added that there has been no arrests in both cases and nothing further is there to be reported except that the cases are still open and urged persons, who may have information to come forward and assist the police.
Millington, nicknamed ‘Champo’, was gunned down in Curtis Street, Albouystown, Georgetown, while playing cards at a friend’s birthday celebration on May 7, 2014.
Detectives retrieved three 9 mm spent shells at the scene of the killing where Millington was shot once to the head.

The 30-year-old businessman/part-time taxi driver was pronounced dead on arrival at the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH) after a lone gunman walked up to him, asked whether he remembered him and, without waiting for a response, fired three shots before escaping.
Based on eyewitness reports, there were more than a dozen people at the location when the incident occurred but most of them ran for cover.

Millington’s mother and sister told reporters that a few minutes before their loved one was killed, they had telephoned him to enquire when he was returning home and he indicated he would be doing so shortly.

Not long after that conversation, someone called to inform them that he was shot.
Four years ago, Millington’s brother, Vibert Weeks called ‘Vibey’ was murdered in a similar manner in front of a Robb Street nightspot, also in the city, as he exited the building.
