Port Kaituma dredge owner and miner Andy Whyte, whose partially decomposed body was discovered at Massawini, is suspected to have been robbed of raw gold and the suspect has been released on station bail.
Speaking briefly with Stabroek News yesterday, Crime Chief Seelall Persaud confirmed that the suspect, who was employed by Whyte, was released from custody. Investigations, Persaud stressed, are continuing into the circumstances surrounding the murder of Whyte.
The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), Persaud further said, has since been consulted regarding the case. However, he could not say whether a file was prepared and forwarded to the DPP for advice on whether to proceed
