— continues to call family and friends

RANKS of ‘E’ Division are searching relentlessly for Corwyn Aurther, 34, called “Cross Eye”, who allegedly stabbed to death Claude DeJounge called “Sonno” of 915 South Amelia’s Ward, Linden, last Thursday.

The man is suspected to be hiding out in the backlands of Wisroc, Wismar Linden.
He immediately made good his escape after reportedly stabbing DeJounge three times to his shoulder, neck and abdomen. The stabbing occurred after DeJounge asked Aurther to leave the premises of Tanya Samuels, 35, with whom they both shared a relationship.

Since then, Aurther has been calling relatives and friends expressing his remorse for the act he allegedly committed. The first person he called after going into hiding was the eldest son of Samuels, Cleon Samuels, and allegedly confessed to the crime while telling him he is hiding out in a house on the Wismar shore. He also contacted Tanya via telephone according to her son.

Since Thursday, Aurther has been contacting several persons. One relative of his said he called her saying he is sorry for the act he committed. “I ask he if he in kill he self yet,” the relative said.

According to the police, while Aurther was allegedly committing the act, he told Samuels, “Is you cause that, I want he head, I get poison to drink when I done.”

Cleon, however, believes that Aurther premeditated the act because earlier in the night, he burnt his clothes and his identification card at the very back yard of Samuels.
Divisional Commander Anthony Vandyhyden said the police are working with intelligence and will not give up the search.

Aurther is a known questionable character in Linden who was previously incarcerated for allegedly committing rape and larceny.
