CRIMINAL Investigation ranks of the Guyana Police Force are conducting systematic searches and are questioning several persons as they seek to locate Linden Primo.Linden Primo is the man who reportedly whipped out a firearm and discharged a round in the air at Congress Place on Sunday while the Peoples National Congress Reform congress was in session.
This publication has been reliably informed that the man whom the police have been trying to locate since Sunday is working with a mining company which has its head office in Guyana.
However, checks at the man’s workplace as well as efforts to contact his employer have been an up-hill task for investigators who have not been able to get their hands on the man.
According to information reaching the Guyana Chronicle last evening, the police are still searching through their records to ascertain if the man is a licensed firearm holder.
Meanwhile the police seem to be getting the cooperation of persons inside Congress Place as part of the investigation.
The police were able to question and get statements from the woman who reported the shooting incident while visits were also made to Congress Place where the police took photographs and searched for the spent shell.
On Sunday Linden Primo reportedly panicked and fired a round in the air after rowdy PNC supporters who were not being allowed to vote at the party’s congress for one reason or another began pushing causing a barricade to fall.
Sources inside the party said that the man acts as bodyguard to Opposition Leader and Leader of the PNCR David Granger.
Meanwhile former Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly and PNCR executive member Clarissa Riel said that she is severing all ties with the party since the goings-on are not in keeping with her values.
