Two in custody over bread seller’s murder

As the police continue to probe the murder of Sophia bread vendor, Andre Alexander, a second person has been arrested after he was allegedly seen in the company of the soldier – who is suspected of involvement – before the crime was committed.

Stabroek News was told that the teenager was taken into custody on Monday evening, shortly after the soldier was arrested in Georgetown. They both remain in custody as the hunt continues for the alleged triggerman.
