A third suspect is wanted by the police in relation to the death of Samuel DeSouza, a labourer who was found dead in front of his house shortly after a confrontation less than two months ago.
In a wanted bulletin issued yesterday, the Guyana Police Force (GPF) said that Kevin Adams, whose last known address is Lot 51 Victoria Alley Street, Wismar, Linden is wanted for questioning in relation to manslaughter committed on De Souza.
The incident occurred on March 6th.
De Souza, 47, of Lot 50 Victory Valley, Wismar, Linden, was discovered dead in front of his house shortly after he was involved in a confrontation with two women.
The police had said that the incident occurred between 9pm and 9.30pm at Victory Valley, Linden.
Police investigations had revealed that DeSouza had an altercation with a woman, who along with her daughter confronted him.
In a bid to escape, the police said DeSouza ran through a track leading to his house after which two men informed the women that he was dead.
The police were summoned and upon arrival they observed DeSouza’s lifeless body lying in front of his house.
A spear was observed lying on his body with what appeared to be blood on it. Three knives and a screw driver were also found in the waist of his pants. Blood was oozing from his mouth and an ear.
He was later pronounced dead at the Linden Hospital.
An autopsy later revealed that De Souza died as a result of hypotension and gastritis. Pathologist Dr Nehaul Singh had explained that the internal bleeding was caused by frequent movement of DeSouza, which led to the hypotension.
Two men: Utoh Duke, 26, of Victory Valley, Wismar, Linden and Orlando Montouth, 34, also of the same area were later charged in connection with the crime.
They both appeared before Magistrate Wanda Fortune at the Linden Magistrate’s Court.
They were not required to plead to the charge and were released on $400,000 bail. The duo is required to report to the Wismar Police Station twice every month.
Anyone with information that may lead to the arrest of Adams is asked to contact the police on telephone numbers 442-0759, 225-3650, 226-1928, 911 or the nearest police station.
