After conducting diligent investigation detectives in Berbice have nabbed Kelvin Seegobin as a prime suspect for the murder of Corentyne businessman, Patrick Mohabir. Mohabir was shot dead on January 6, last, at his Lot 9 Belvedere, Public Road Corentyne, Berbice home.
Seegobin who is known to the authorities, is a neighbour of the businessman.
Investigators have confirmed that Seegobin, called β€œKelly”, 37, of Belvedere Squatting area, was in their radar. He was subsequently placed on bail.  A file was prepared and sent to the office of the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) for advice and subsequently returned for the man to be charged.
He was arrested on Tuesday and is expected to be charged during the week. He was also positively identified in an Identification parade.
Indications from early were that Mohabir was the victim of a robbery.
It is alleged that on the night of January 6, two masked men, armed with a β€˜long gun’ and a cutlass, and dressed in dark long-sleeved clothing, entered the home of the businessman.
Mohabir, a father of six, operated the popular grocery store, Shabina and Sons, on the premises.
At the time Mohabir, his wife, Shabina Ahmad, and four of his children were at home.
The woman had told investigators that she and her husband were in their room when her husband heard some strange sounds outside. She said that they thought it was the children and he asked her to investigate.  She said that upon venturing out of the room she was confronted by the two masked bandits.
She immediately begged them not to harm the family and even offered them money.
She said that her husband then came outside and was shot in the left thigh during a scuffle with one of the intruders..
The bandits reportedly then returned to the wounded businessman’s wife, who allegedly managed to β€œscramble” the mask off of one of the intruders.
The invaders then fled, taking two cell phones and a pair of shoes.
Mohabir was rushed to hospital where he succumbed.
The woman had stated that the men did not appear to be robbers.
There were no signs of forced entry to the house.
