Ranks of the Guyana Police Force (GPF) are currently in pursuit of two persons they have identified as main suspects in the recent chopping of a Lusignan resident.
Commander of Region 4 (c) Royston Andries-Junor told Stabroek News that the person that was initially in custody in connection with the wounding, which allegedly took place on July 12th, is no longer in custody but the police have eyes on two others. “We had one person in custody but [we realised] that he is not the main suspect…we have two suspects in mind but we haven’t made any arrests yet,” he detailed.
Andries-Junor explained that the GPF plans to release wanted bulletins for the men as soon as possible.
Safraz Khan, of Grass Field, Lusignan, was chopped multiple times by a number of Spanish-speaking men on July 12th, leaving him severely wounded.
According to those who live nearby, Khan and a few other friends were in front of his house imbibing and taunting people who passed by. “They had a get together and when people pass them mek trouble with them and they laugh and suh and me ain’t know like them trouble the wrong person,” a neighbour, who did not want to be identified, said.
Communications Manager of the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH) Chelauna Providence told this newspaper that Khan is still hospitalised but “conscious, alert and recovering”.
