Police get leads in Crum-Ewing execution

FOLLOWING the charge by Head of State Donald Ramotar for the police to leave no stone unturned in their quest to solve the Crum-Ewing murder, the police seem to be narrowing down on the suspects.The Guyana Chronicle was reliably informed that the two persons who were in police custody for questioning in connection with the Crum-Ewing murder were still in custody and may be released.According to police sources, the two persons have been giving the police vital information that has the potential to lead to the killing of the man last Tuesday.
The police have also detained a car that was suspected to have been used in transporting the men who carried out the assault on the father of three that left him lying dead on the roadway with three gunshot wounds.
The police last week were reviewing video footage from which they were able to pick up the registration plate of a vehicle. It is not clear, however, if that registration plate was the same one connected to the vehicle that the police impounded when they arrested the two persons for questioning in relation to the murder.
Last week, after the president called for the arrest of the persons responsible for the shooting and lashed out at those who tried to link the killing to that of a political assassination, the police came out with a response.
The Police said in its statement that the Crime Chief had responded to the article by contacting the writer, David Hinds, and asked if he had any information as to who killed Crum-Ewing. But Hinds responded in the negative.
The police release went on to state that Hinds was then cautioned against his assertions which had the potential of instigating unrest.
The investigations are ongoing and Crum-Ewing is expected to be laid to rest sometime this week.
