Middle Road murder: Businessman’s partner confesses, three in custody

IN a horrific turn of events after his arrest, businessman Yogeendra Sukhdeo has allegedly confessed to the brutal murder and robbery of his business associate, Amit Singh, with the help of his three employees.

Singh’s battered body was discovered on Tuesday at about 02:15 hours in a house at Middle Road La Penitence, Georgetown.
Police preliminary investigations have revealed a sinister plot orchestrated by Sukhdeo and three of his employees who lured Singh into the home. Their ruse? A promise of gold for sale, a fatal deception that would ultimately lead to Singh’s untimely demise.

The stolen money recovered at Sukhdeo’s home

According to the police, once inside the residence, the four suspects brutally murdered Amit Singh and wrapped his lifeless body in a sheet. Their acts of violence did not stop there, as they fled the scene with both Singh’s life and the cash he had brought with him to secure the non-existent gold.
In a final, haunting twist, the men locked the building, leaving Singh’s lifeless body hidden within.
“Based on intelligence received, ranks from the Criminal Investigations Department arrested one of the perpetrators. He [Sukhdeo] has since confessed to the crime and is assisting investigators as the investigation continues,”

Sukhdeo, on Wednesday morning, took detectives to his home at Lot 1896 20th Avenue Diamond Housing Scheme where a search was carried out in his room, and the sum of $7,790,000, all consisting of $5,000 bills was found and subsequently lodged.

The plot further thickened on Wednesday afternoon, when detectives tracked down the three suspects, who are employed by Sukhdeo, who reportedly owns a string of businesses, including El Dorado Mining and Security, El Dorado Construction Inc., El Dorado Landscaping Solutions, and El Dorado Luxury and Rentals.
The three men vehemently deny any involvement in Singh’s murder and have provided alibis detailing their whereabouts at the time of the crime.
Investigators are now meticulously examining and verifying these alibis to ascertain the truth as investigations are still ongoing.
