Police are seeking the public’s assistance in identifying the owner or driver of the getaway car used by the man who murdered 23-year-old Sabutaro Singh on Regent Street, Georgetown, last Wednesday evening.

Singh, also known as Mark, a carpenter and part-time vendor on Regent Street and of Lot 529 Herstelling, East Bank Demerara, was fatally stabbed in the neck at around 18:00 hours.
Investigators obtained surveillance footage that captured the white Toyota Premio motor car the man used to flee the scene.

Singh was among five persons who were wanted in the $400M gold heist between December 2021 and January 2022 at the home of a businesswoman from Mahaica, East Coast Demerara.
Forty-nine-year-old Bhaloonauth Seegobin, called “Krishna”, and his 24-year-old son, Satrohan Seegobin, called “Richie”, of Farm, EBD; 27-year-old Andray Duncan of Grove, EBD; and 51-year-old Damien Brummel of Vreed-en-Hoop, West Coast Demerara (WCD) were also wanted.

Reports indicate that Singh, in the company of four others, stole 1000 ounces of raw gold, worth $400 million, from the businesswoman.

It was reported that the businesswoman discovered the gold missing when she went to check in September and immediately contacted the police.

The businesswoman, a gold dealer, accumulated the raw gold and concealed same at a location within the confines of her home.

The victim contracted the trio to conduct repairs to her home, during which they found the stash of gold and later went on a spending spree.

During the investigation, detectives recovered three motor vehicles – two cars and one canter – and a quantity of raw gold.

Another person was arrested, and the Police recovered $6 million in cash, along with two motor cars.

Sometime later, Bhaloonauth and his son Satrohan were arrested and arraigned at the Cove and John Magistrate’s Court. Bhaloonauth pleaded not guilty to the charge and was remanded to prison, but Satrohan pleaded guilty and was sentenced to four years in prison.
