Seven men, including the main suspect who was arrested in connection with the Black Bush Polder, Corentyne triple murder were transported to Georgetown on Tuesday evening and are currently being questioned by ranks from the Criminal Investigation Department’s (CID), Major Crimes Unit.
Crime Chief Wendell Blanhum last evening confirmed that the men were bought to Georgetown for
intense questioning by ranks from the Major Crimes Unit, who have been spearheading the probe.
Rice farmer, Pawan Chandradeo, 37; his fifteen-year-old son, Jaikarran Chandradeo, both of 163 Mibicuri North, Black Bush Polder and his brother-in-law Naresh Rooplall, 33, of Number 75 Village, Corentyne were found dead less than a day after they had left to go on a fishing trip in Black Bush Polder.
The three were found with one gunshot wound each at Kokerite Savannah, Mibicuri Creek on Friday. Post-mortem examinations revealed that Pawan Chandradeo sustained a laceration to his head resulting in a fractured skull and he subsequently died of shock and haemorrhaging. His 15-year-old son Jaikarran Chandradeo and his brother-in-law Rooplall, 33, also died of shock and haemorrhaging.
Among the men presently in custody is the main suspect and two of his workmen.
The main suspect owns the same type of weapon, a shotgun that inflicted the deadly wounds. The shotgun was sent to Georgetown for ballistics testing which is not complete.
A police source recently related to this newspaper that the main suspect had run-ins with the law in the past and owns rice lands in the vicinity where the crime was committed.
