Two weeks after Laurel Samaroo was found dead in a fuel truck, the police are seeking the assistance of the public in their search for a Tuschen, East Bank Essequibo (EBE) man, who is accused of committing the crime.
A wanted bulletin was issued on Monday by the police for 23-year-old Shyiem Allison, known as ‘Shem.’
Allison’s last known address is Lot 4351 Tuschen New Housing Scheme, EBE.
Samaroo, 31, of Tuschen Housing Scheme, was found dead on July 24 with a wound to his head.
An autopsy later revealed that he died as a result of bleeding in the brain caused by blunt trauma to the head.
The Guyana Police Force (GPF), in a statement, had said that Samaroo was discovered in the truck by a Parika businessman, who is also the owner of the vehicle. The discovery was made at about 2 am on July 24.
Checks made by the police revealed that around 9 pm on the day prior, Samaroo uplifted the fuel truck from Parika and left to go home.
However, the businessman later noticed the truck was parked along the road and he went to check. Upon checking, he saw Samaroo lying in the front seat and he appeared to be sleeping.
The businessman then attempted to wake Samaroo but after his attempts proved to be futile, he decided to contact the Leonora Police Station. The police went to the scene where detectives examined Samaroo’s body and found marks of violence. The police said that Samaroo had what appeared to be a wound to the right side of his head.
Meanwhile Samaroo’s haversack, wallet and keys were found behind a stall in the market area after further checks were made in the vicinity of the truck.
Anyone with information that may lead to the arrest of Allison is asked to contact the police on telephone numbers 226-7065, 227-1270, 226-7476, 226-7065, 227-9271, 227-1611, 227-1149, 227-1270, 225-6940-9, 225-3650, 226-1928, 911, or the nearest police station.
