AN INFORMANT with evidence into the death of dominoes fanatic, Orin Joseph, who was killed at his South Ruimveldt Park home and business place on April 14, 2013, is calling for a meeting with President David Granger and Public Security Minister Khemraj Ramjattan, since he alleges there is a cover up within the police force.
The man (whose name has been withheld) told the Guyana Chronicle that years after the murder, he provided the police with additional information and insight pertaining to a suspect who may have been responsible for the murder.

The suspect in question, the informant said, is currently in the Camp Street Prison awaiting trial for another murder, and as such he is questioning why the police authorities are reluctant to re-open the Orin Joseph case.
According to the man, he has been running behind the Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) and the Police Complaint Authority (CPA) for years, but to no avail.
Joseph, 52, then president of the Blue Bird Dominoes Club, was gunned down in a hail of bullets outside his home just after a dominoes competition had ended.

One of the bullets reportedly hit him in his abdomen, but there were no eyewitnesses to the crime. The jewellery which Joseph was wearing at the time was taken by two men on a motorcycle.
Joseph had briefly exited his yard and was about to park his car under his house when he was attacked by the men who escaped under cover of darkness, as there was a ‘blackout’ in the community.

Meanwhile, a suspect who the police had was detained, was released.
Police officials have also continuously said that with no one around, because the shooting occurred during a ‘blackout’, it has been difficult for investigators to pick up any leads.
Despite the apparent standstill, the man’s widow, Faye, who is the president of the Georgetown Dominoes Federation (GDF), still has hope that the police will bring the perpetrator/s to justice.
