SINCE the August 23, 2014 murder of Delicious Chinese Restaurant cashier, Deborah Blackman, the police are once again appealing to members of the public to come forward with information which may lead to the arrest of the suspect.Crime Chief, Leslie James said that the probe is still active but they have reached a snag. However, they are optimistic they will make a breakthrough with the assistance of the public.

Following the homicide, the police released images twice on different occasions of the suspect taken from the surveillance cameras inside the business place but with no success in identifying the gunman, who shot and killed Blackman at the cashier’s cage.

Blackman was shot at close range to the head by a man, who entered the eating house while other customers were present.
The 54-year-old woman was in the cashier’s cage at Delicious Chinese Restaurant on D’urban Street, Georgetown, when two men arrived on a Jailing motorcycle and one of them entered the restaurant. Shortly after there was a loud explosion and the man who had entered the restaurant was seen running to the motorcycle before it sped off.

During Blackman’s 14 years of service at the restaurant, there had been several armed robberies but no motive for the killing has yet been established. No cash was taken that day when the gunman entered the business place and fatally shot her.

WANTED BULLETIN
The Crime Chief told this publication that a wanted bulletin was issued for a suspect on September 6, 2014.

The police have since arrested several persons for questioning, who were later released. However, they are seeking information from members of the public.
