Almost two months after contractor Peter Gonsalves was fatally shot and robbed of his XR motorcycle in front of a Kitty bar, the police have arrested the alleged shooter who has since confessed to the crime.
Speaking to Stabroek News yesterday, Crime Chief Wendell Blanhum confirmed that ranks from the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) Major Crimes Unit arrested the suspect on Wednesday afternoon.
The suspect has been identified as a 25-year-old resident of Sophia.
Blanhum said as the investigation continues, a case file will be compiled and sent for legal advice on the way forward in the matter.
