CRIME Chief Leslie James yesterday said that the Guyana Police Force is awaiting advice from the Director of Public Prosecutions, Shalimar Hack-Ali, pertaining to the murder of MFK Trading boss, Mohamed Khan, in which a remanded prisoner has implicated a retired senior officer and a serving member of the force.The senior officer stated that a file was submitted to the DPP and they are seeking advice on how to proceed.

He said that the Tactical Services Unit Sergeant David Lindo and retired Assistant Commissioner, Steve Merai, both of whom were arrested for questioning last week, were released after statements were taken and a confrontation was held with Lennox “Two Colours” Wayne at the Criminal Investigations Department.

Wayne is at present on remand for murdering Lusignan cosmetologist Ashmini Harriram last year. He began his revelation in prison, after which he was taken to CID Headquarters and gave a detailed statement to sleuths of a plan in which he was the contracted hit man to “bump off” Mohamed Khan, following a row over the sale of his Hadfield Street property.
He had claimed that on August 9 last year, one month after the first execution attempt, he received a telephone call from the police sergeant who informed him that Khan was seen at his lawyer’s office on Hadfield Street among other revelations highlighting a detailed plan to murder Khan.
The remains of Mohamed Khan was found on September 23, 2014 aback of Cummings Lodge, East Coast Demerara. Khan had gone missing following a trip from Venezuela to Guyana to conduct business.
DNA results have confirmed that the remains were that of the businessman.
The skull, which was wrapped in a plastic bag, was located several feet from the body which was in an advanced state of decomposition.
Khan, who had fled to neighbouring Venezuela after selling his business place on Hadfield Street, had talked about death threats he received on numerous occasions.

Khan, 54, had escaped execution in July, 2014, at La Grange, West Bank Demerara, when a man shot him in his abdomen shortly after he returned to Guyana on a brief holiday.
He was last heard from on August 21, 2014.
