Police still stumped by Kalamadeen kidnapping, murder
THE Police continue to be stumped by the kidnapping and murder, four months ago, of Jiffi Lubes owner Farouk Kalamadeen.


The headless body of the businessman, who had an auto shop on North Road and a spare parts sales outlet on Church Street, was found about a month after his April 2 disappearance.


Three days after the torso was fished out of a canal along Cowan Street, Kingston, also in Georgetown, the head was retrieved from another waterway near his North Road business.


Since the funeral, however, there has been no more official information on the abduction and killing, although one media entity had reported otherwise.


But a senior Police officer assured that the crime has not been classified as unsolved because they are still keeping their ears to the ground for any leads.

Whilst the police playing cricket and gettting stumped out the bandits are scoring runs. Last week they made 2 illion dollars from Akbar Ally now yesterday they scored 1.8 million dollars from bakewell.

$1.8M snatched by armed gangBlocked vehicles, gun taken from guard
Bandits struck at Eccles, East Bank Demerara yesterday, robbing a Bakewell bakery employee of $1.8M and grabbing the gun of a guard.

In a chilling and well-planned operation, five gunmen held up Chrishandatt Deolall and Paul Hector after blocking their vehicles. The five men all had guns and three were reportedly outfitted in dark blue uniforms.

The police said that Deolall was driving PKK 923 and Hector, an armed security guard attached to an unnamed private security service, was driving PKK 6815. On reaching Eccles Old Road around 12.20 pm, a vehicle with the five gunmen drove up and blocked the path of the other two vehicles.

The police said that five men then exited and held the victims at gunpoint. They took a .38 revolver with seven rounds from Hector and the bag with $1.8M from Deolall’s vehicle after breaking the right side front window. The police said the bandits then escaped.

The attack bore similarities to a failed one on the Ogle airstrip road two weeks ago. Then, gunmen ambushed a vehicle which was leaving the airstrip.

The driver did not stop even though sustaining a gunshot wound and managed to make it to the Sparendaam police station. The gunmen fled.

Guyana needs more Police officers to cover all areas of the country. The few that they have can't do the job effectively. They spect money in protective equipments, motorized vehicles, helicopters, training offices. Now they need to hire more people to do the job.
