Wanted men Delroy Jack and Manu Durant yesterday turned themselves in to police.
The police said in a press release that Jack was wanted with regard to investigations into the two recent killing sprees at Lusignan and Bartica, while Durant was wanted in connection with the case of missing teen Tenisha Morgan of Friendship, East Coast Demerara.
Jack, called ‘Pan Head’, of Buxton turned himself in at police headquarters on Sunday. He is one of five men, for whom a wanted bulletin was issued from a branch of law enforcement. The bulletin and photos appeared in the two other dailies. (See story on page 2)
The police press release said Jack was wanted for questioning in connection with the 23 murders at Lusignan and Bartica and “a bulletin was issued for him”.
Meanwhile, the police press release yesterday said Durant was accompanied by his lawyer Mark Waldron and presented himself at the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) headquarters.
On February 12, police issued a wanted bulletin for Durant, which said that he was wanted in connection with the disappearance of the 19-year-old Morgan. At the time of her disappearance, the teen was heavily pregnancy and had travelled to the city.
Morgan’s mother, Waple Morgan, had told police that her daughter had made telephone contact with her saying that she was near a river, was hungry and the baby was ill.
However, Waple Morgan changed her story after she was confronted with telephone records that showed several inconsistencies.
A high-ranking police official had told Stabroek News that there seemed to be some irregularities over who first supposedly spoke to the teen and when this was done.
This newspaper was told that Waple Morgan had told the police that her daughter first called a friend and the second time the teen allegedly called, she was fortunate to be next to the friend and when the instrument was handed to her she recognised her daughter’s voice. She then said when the call was made the friend was not around and that the call was received on her niece’s telephone. Frequent attempts by Stabroek News in the last week to contact Waple Morgan have failed.
