THE suspect who was shot on Wednesday at Mahaicony following the armed robbery at J Singh and Sons Supermarket is wanted for questioning in four police divisions over murder, attempted murder and armed robberies, the Guyana Chronicle was reliably informed.In that light, investigators might have been able to ‘kill several birds with one stone’ while investigating the attack by four robbers on the supermarket.
The Guyana Chronicle was able to confirm with the Divisional Commanders of ‘A’, ‘B’, ‘C’ and ‘E’ Divisions that they all have matters in their division fingering the suspect.
In the Police ‘A’ Division, he is said to be wanted for the attempted murder of a taxi driver who was shot in Laing Avenue earlier this year when he was in his yard about to feed his dogs after returning home from work in the wee hours of the morning.
Also in ‘A’ Division, the suspect is wanted for one of the several robberies committed at the Popeye’s Fast Food Restaurant on Vlissengen Road in Georgetown.
Meanwhile, in Police ‘E’ Division, the suspect is wanted in connection with the murder of beverage vendor Shevon Gordon who was killed during a robbery at his home earlier this year. The woman and her husband were at the time heading into their yard when they were confronted by a gunman who robbed them.
That suspect had been identified but the police were not in receipt of his photograph to issue a wanted bulletin but the search for him was never called off.
In police ‘C’ Division, he was being hunted for the robbery on Wednesday that he and others committed at the Mahaicony supermarket during which a number of persons were brutally assaulted, including the proprietrix.
His freedom in this case was short-lived as the police nabbed him the very next day following a stakeout for him and his accomplices. He was trying to flee from the police and was shot. According to information, he may lose one of his eyes, but he is now at the Georgetown Public Hospital under police guard.
In ‘B’ Division, the police were hunting the man for the robbery committed on M Ally and Sons General Store earlier this year. During that robbery the persons who robbed the store were able to get away after an exchange of gunfire.
The suspect is expected to make the rounds in the four police divisions in connection with investigations into the various matters but he is likely to be charged first with the murder of the Linden businesswoman.
