…remaining five suspects surrender

TWO men implicated in the alleged abduction of Joshua David, also known as ‘Bricks’, were remanded to prison on Friday by Acting Chief Magistrate Faith Mc Gusty.
The accused, Alpha Poole, of Stanley Place, Kitty, Georgetown, and Osafo Peters, known as ‘Saddest’, of William Street, Kitty, appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts, and were not required to enter a plea to the indictable charge of abduction.
According to the charge, on September 26, 2024, the men, along with others, abducted David with the intent of secretly and unlawfully confining him.

Attorney-at-Law Glenn Hanoman represented Peters, while Everton Singh-Lammy appeared on behalf of Poole. Both men had voluntarily surrendered to the police earlier in the week, after wanted bulletins were published for them.
They are set to return to court on October 11, 2024, while the police continue to search for David, who was kidnapped last Thursday, September 26, 2024, from Main Street, Georgetown.

The abduction was captured on camera, prompting widespread concern. Authorities have conducted several searches in the Buxton and Annandale Backlands on the East Coast of Demerara (ECD), but David remains missing.
In a related development, the remaining suspects: Wayne Barker, 34, of Lot ‘G’ Norton Street, Lodge, Georgetown; 32-year-old Damion ‘Dangles’ Barlow of Lot 47 Norton Street, Wortmanville, Georgetown; Dwayne Griffith, called ‘Shiek’, 24, of Lot 68 William Street, Kitty, Georgetown; 21-year-old

Davantai Mars, otherwise known as ‘Sharkie’ of Lot 148 Middle Road, La Penitence, Georgetown; and Aaron ‘Cats’ Alleyne, 26, of Lot 9, West La Penitence, Georgetown, turned themselves in to the police on Friday, accompanied by their lawyers.
They were previously the subject of wanted bulletins. Still holding on to hope that their loved one is alive, Joshua David’s family held a candlelight vigil on Thursday night along Main Street, Georgetown.
