A 29-year-old French Guiana national wanted in connection with a murder investigation has been denied bail as extradition proceedings against him get under way in Georgetown.

Dane Langhorne, of Ann’s Grove, East Coast Demerara, was arrested on Sunday, October 11, at about 7:45 a.m. at the Lusignan Tarmac, East Coast Demerara, during a police operation, the Guyana Police Force said. An arrest warrant for Langhorne had been issued through INTERPOL.

After his arrest, Langhorne was escorted to the Cove and John Police Station, where he was placed in custody.

On Tuesday, October 13, he appeared before Chief Magistrate Judy Latchman at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court for extradition proceedings under the Fugitive Offenders Act, Chapter 10:04.

After the information was read, his defence counsel applied for bail. The application was denied. The matter was adjourned to October
