POLICE are still hunting the killers of Deon Macey, who was murdered last week for allegedly “peeping” women in the Leopold Street, Georgetown area.Police reported yesterday that while three suspects are still in custody and assisting with investigations, they are interested in questioning several more persons, all residents of Leopold Street.
It all began in the yard in which Macey resided, when he was allegedly observed peeping through a hole at a woman, who was at the time changing her clothes.
On raising an alarm, the men in the yard responded and surrounded the small apartment he was in. An argument ensued, then the gang closed in on him.
He was overpowered and was fatally stabbed to the chest and abdomen, and left in sitting position until his corpse was removed by undertakers in the presence of the police. Reputedly a drug addict, Macey, whenever he was high, was in the habit of peeking at females while they were bathing, undressing, or sleeping in the large yard in which he lived.
He was reportedly warned before to desist from doing so, but last Wednesday, he was brutally murdered when he was caught red-handed once again.
Initially, police reported that Macey was killed during a fight with a group of men, following an argument at around 06:50hrs on Wednesday. He occupied a small shack at Lot 67-68 Leopold Street, Werk-en-Rust, Georgetown, in a yard which has a large house with several apartments occupied by scores of residents.
They told reporters that they did not hear anything which indicated there was a fight which eventually led to murder. The bloodied body was found in a slouched position in his modest apartment which had spots of blood on the ground and walls. The police was summoned after calls to him went unanswered and upon checking at his apartment his body was discovered by residents. Macey was last seen alive at about 02:00 hrs when he said he was going on a ‘fine hustle’.
