As the police continue to probe the execution-style killing of Linden clothes vendor Glenroy Chapman, the lone suspect who was in custody has been released on station bail, Commander of Region 10 Hugh Winter yesterday confirmed.
Three other persons were also initially arrested for questioning and they too have been released.
Last week, Winter had told Stabroek News that the police were “trying to put the pieces together” to solve the crime.
Chapman, called “G,” was shot several times about his body on April 13 while he was seated in front of his Wismar, Linden home.
The police, in a press release, said enquiries revealed that the 43-year-old Chapman was seated on a bench in front of his yard with a man between 6 pm and 6.30 pm when the suspect, who was armed with a handgun, approached them from an eastern direction and shot Chapman.
The suspect, who was masked, escaped on foot.
The motive for the killing remains unclear. However, robbery has been ruled out.
A source close to the investigation had told this newspaper that investigators believe that Chapman was the target of the attack.
The killing of Chapman left his family puzzled. His cousin, Donnette Chapman had told Stabroek News that the family is not aware of Chapman having any issues with anyone that might have led to his demise.
