Carlos ‘Beast’ Evans, who is wanted by police in Guyana in connection with the murder of a Rosignol businessman on March 13th, 2020 was arrested last Saturday by the Surinamese police.
Crime Chief, Wendell Blanhum, yesterday told Stabroek News that he was informed by his Surinamese counterpart about the arrest and that the Guyana Police Force (GPF) is now awaiting Evan’s deportation to Guyana. A wanted bulletin had been issued for both Carlos called ‘Beast”, 28, and his brother, Medellin Evans back on March 18, 2020 for the murder of Rosignol businessman, Tony Bishnauth who was shot and killed during a suspected robbery on March 13th, 2020 around 11 pm at Carriage Road, Rosignol, West Bank Berbice.
Bishnauth, also known as ‘Uncle Tony’ and ‘England Man’, 78, of Cotton Tree Village, West Coast Berbice, operated ‘Sandra’s Snackette’ at the Rosignol Stelling Road, and was fatally shot in the region of his right ear during a robbery at the snackette. Several other persons who were present celebrating the deceased’s 78th birthday were also shot and injured during the robbery. The investigation was spearheaded by ranks of the Guyana Police Force Major Crimes Unit.
Suriname’s media house, Waterkant, had reported back in 2022 that the brother of Carlos, Medellin, died after a stabbing incident on the Hoogestraat in Suriname on the evening of September 24th, 2022. According to the publication, Medellin got into an argument with the suspect, identified as Quinten M, who had allegedly owed him money, which he demanded. After the suspect refused to pay, Medellin reportedly pulled out a handgun and attempted to discharge a round. It was noted in the report that after “the gun did not fire,” the suspect then used a sharp object to stab Medellin multiple times about his body. The suspect was subsequently arrested at a fishing company in the Livorno Resort. “The investigation, in this case, has been transferred to the Capital Offences Department,” the report noted.
