Several months after he announced the reopening of a few cold cases, Crime Chief Wendell Blanhum yesterday told media operatives that the investigations were open and the police have since re-interviewed some witnesses as promised.
Blanhum made this disclosure yesterday morning after being questioned specifically about the murders of political activist Courtney Crum-Ewing and Monica Reece. However, he refused to divulge any other details about the investigations, stating “that’s all I can say at this point in time”.
Crum-Ewing, a 40-year-old father of three, was gunned during March 2015 in Diamond New Housing Scheme, on the East Bank Demerara whilst urging persons to vote in the May 2015 general elections.
