Siggy.. all long term prisoners not remand should be sent to Mazaruni,if it's too small expand it, have them plant their own food,bring back the death penalty for murderers,why the prison should be in the city in the first place,old days that was ok modern day nada.

Not true. Cocaine doesn't kill one everytime one uses it. Killing means  DEATH.

There can be treatment for cocaine addiction. There is no cure for death.

Corentyne Chamber calls for army intel, foreign experts to assist “impotent” authorities in crime fight

 

The Central Corentyne Chamber of Commerce (CCC) Saturday called for  foreign experts and the Intelligence Branch of the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) to  team up and help police go after criminals in Berbice where “ruthless killers” have been attacking residents.

“Let the army put under surveillance known criminals and help the police to bring some semblance of order to this country,” said the business organization.

The CCC seized the opportunity to criticize the use of GDF intelligence agents to target law abiding citizens, in clear reference to army sergeant Robert Pyle who was killed in a road accident while chasing after Alana Seebarran and her brother because they erroneously had thought that they were members of the Head of the National Industrial and Commercial Investment (NICIL).

“It is indeed a travesty that the army intelligence officers are pursuing law abiding citizens in movie type chases instead of these criminals,”  the Chamber said in a statement.

Saying that the crime situation in Berbice was out of control and that criminals were being butchered  in their homes without any protection from the authorities , the Chamber said it would not demand that Khemraj Ramjattan resign from the post of Public Security as he had done when the People’s Progressive Party  Civic’s Clement Rohee was at the helm of the national security sector.

The Chamber  charged that Ramjattan and the government appeared “impotent to arrest the situation” and the time has come for government to seek foreign assistance  to among other things smash narco-trafficking rings.

“Go in the villages and towns and dismantle the local drug networks. We need results and not more plans from the Government. It is time to get international assistance in the form of specialist personnel and modern technology in intelligence gathering and more advanced and innovative policing,” said the Chamber.

The CCC said it was unimpressed by President David Granger merely dismissing the recent army action that resulted in three deaths on December 30, 2015. “We need an explanation why ordinary citizens were treated in this manner, especially given what we experienced in the seventies and eighties coupled with a recent announcement of the resuscitating of the People’s Militia,” said the business organization.

The Upper Corentyne Chamber of Commerce’s concern about the spate of crime came just hours after a businessman and his wife were killed during the pre-dawn hours of Saturday at their Bush Lot, West Coast Berbice residence. Three persons have since been arrested.

The President need to change his Militaristic attitude when addressing the nation on issues of this nature.

Four arrested in murder of Berbice couple

– suspects confess
-culprits ate chocolate, drank beer during act

By Clifford Stanley

POLICE arrested four men yesterday as they began investigating the deaths of 81-year-old Arthur Rajkumar, a Bush Lot, West Coast Berbice businessman; and his reputed wife, Dianne Chamanlall, 44, whose mutilated bodies were found lying in pools of blood in their home at Lot 93A Middle Dam Bush Lot, in what is believed to be a robbery/murder committed by men from the village.

One of the men who was arrested confessed to the crimes and implicated two of the other three men who were arrested.

The bodies were found at approximately 03:00 hrs when police responded to telephone calls about loud screaming
emanating from the house. The first screams were heard at about 02: 45 hrs.

The quick police response resulted in the perpetrators being interrupted, and they jumped a fence at the back of the premises and fled the scene. Ranks discharged

rounds in the air as they pursued them, but the perpetrators managed to escape.
They had apparently come to the house on foot, since there was no getaway vehicle in the vicinity.

The victims had lived in the upper flat of the two-storey building. They died from multiple chop wounds about their bodies. Blood-spattered hall and bedroom walls, blood-soaked pillows, blood spattered furniture, and a blood-spattered telephone left off the hook served as grim reminders of the heinous ordeal the couple had endured.

A half-eaten bar of chocolate, empty beer bottles scattered nearby, and empty sardine tins suggested that the perpetrators had splurged on the goods in the home before bludgeoning the couple to death. Chilling, too, were two spots where defecation was on the floor, leading investigators to surmise that the perpetrators may have been in the home long before the screams were heard.

Bags of items were found in the home, suggesting to Police that the motive was indeed robbery.

Rajkumar, also known as Uncle Arthur, was the owner of the School View Ice Cream Parlour located at the bottom flat of the two-storey building. He had returned from the US, where his four children live, just about two weeks ago. He had established a relationship with the younger Chamanlall for quite some time, and the two had lived alone at the property. The shop contained a pool table which was frequently used by youths from the area.

There were no obvious signs of forced entry into the building.
People who knew the couple suggested that the perpetrators may have posed as customers and may have either secreted themselves in the business place until it had closed, or had forced the couple to close and then committed the dastardly act.

A reliable source has said that consumption of food in victims’ homes by the perpetrators is similar to the pattern of home invasions reported by victims of burglaries in West Coast Berbice in recent weeks.

The most recent act of home invasion and murder on the West Coast of Berbice occurred last Sunday at Bath Settlement, about three miles east of Bush Lot Village.

Bandits entered the victims’ home by removing a grill at the back of the building, and then tortured Anita Baichan, 49, a cash crop farmer, and her son Moshin Khan, 23, for over two and a half hours, before gagging the hapless pair, binding them hand and foot with duct tape, and setting their home on fire whilst they fled the scene on a bicycle.

Ms Baichan had tried to escape from the building, but ended up perishing therein. Her son had managed to escape by rolling down the stairs and getting help in freeing himself, but by the time he could return upstairs to rescue his mother, it was too late. A Post-Mortem done on Ms Baichan found that she had died from smoke inhalation.

Police investigations into this home invasion, robbery and murder are ongoing, and have not yet resulted in any charges being laid against any suspect.

where were these lot when the PPP let crime get out of order in the first place? Was it not Jagdeo who was screaming that Guyana did not need any foreign help?

You foreign based Guyanese are conveniently glossing over the fact that the police has been having a far larger clean up of crimes under the AFC government than at any time in the history of the PPP government. Criminals were able to pay off even people all the way at the top.
