Dead: Marcus Julius Thomas

CHARGES are expected in the new week for three suspects who were arrested on Thursday in connection with the murder of minibus driver, Marcus Julius Thomas. Thomas was killed at his Kuru Kururu Sandpit, Linden/ Soesdyke Highway residence on May 11.
The 39-year-old was slain by three men who invaded his home around 18:30 hrs.
The suspects who were nabbed in Parika, East Bank Essequibo (EBE) are relatives of Thomas.
One police source said that they are awaiting response from the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) to proceed with charges.
Reports indicated that Thomas’ relatives attempted to murder him in the past.

One of the suspects had previously chopped him to the head and abdomen. A report was made to the police but the individual was never arrested since he eluded capture. Police said the suspects are cooperating with them.
On Tuesday evening, Thomas had arrived home and decided to rest. Not long after his killers reportedly kicked open his door and barged in. Neighbours reportedly recalled hearing loud noises and rumbling at his home.
A few minutes later they saw the suspects fleeing the scene. Shortly after, Thomas was seen staggering out of his house and calling out for help.
He was stabbed several times about the body and collapsed in his yard.
One resident said his attacker allegedly slit his throat and stabbed him about the body.
