-after a month on the run
Edwin Jowheir was yesterday arrested in the backlands of GuySuCo’s Albion Estate after being wanted for the last month over the alleged assault of his wife.
He was held 30 miles off the main road.
In a statement, the police said that they had have been looking for Jowheir since August 26 following a report of assault and damage to property made by his wife.
On August 26 2024, at about 12:45 hrs, Jyoti Jowheir, a 38-year-old of Hampshire Village, Corentyne Berbice, went to the Rose Hall Town Police Station and reported that earlier that day at about 9.30 am, she was riding her electric scooter, when her husband Edwin Jowheir rode his motorcycle into hers which caused her to fall off her scooter.
Jyoti said she had a cell phone (valued at $40,000) in her hand when she fell off the scooter. The woman further told the police that her husband also came off his motorcycle and physically assaulted her. He also pelted her with a brick which caused injuries to her.
She sought medical attention, and the police took a statement from her.
On the said date, a police team led by an Inspector went in search of Edwin Jowheir to have him arrested, but their effort was unsuccessful. Police, however, uplifted one XR Motorcycle CN 810 from his home. Jyoti identified the motorcycle as the bike that her husband was riding when he rode into her scooter. The XR motorcycle was taken to the Albion Police Station and lodged. The owner never showed up with the documents.
Ever since Jyoti made her report, the statement said that the Police have been making efforts to apprehend Edwin Jowheir, with follow-up reports on August 31, September 9th and 23rd.
