Accused in $400m gold theft murdered on Regent St

SabuTaro Singh

SabuTaro Singh, one of the accused in the $400 million gold theft case, was last evening stabbed to death as he was vending on Regent Street in front of Pressy’s building.

Twenty-two-year-old Singh, called ‘Mark Singh’ or ‘Pappy’, a labourer/vendor of Herstelling Sea Dam, East Bank Demerara (EBD), was stabbed once in his neck around 6.30 pm.

His death startled the scores of persons who were doing Christmas shopping in the area. The incident, passersby explained, happened without any commotion. It was not until Singh collapsed on the ground that an alarm was raised.
