Time running out for Fine Man

“He is no bin Laden” – Rohee

Home Affairs Minister Clement Rohee believes that time is running out on Rondell ‘Fine Man’ Rawlins.
Speaking with this newspaper yesterday in the wake of the slaying of two members of the wanted man’s gang, Rohee said that it is just a matter of time before Rawlins and the remaining members of his gang are captured or killed.
“I am convinced that one by one the members of this gang will be flushed out like rats. It’s only a matter of time. He is running out of space and time to manoeuvre and hide,” Rohee told this newspaper.
“Fine Man is no Osama bin Laden; he will be found. In fact, his location has already been identified,” the minister added.
Security forces pursuing gunmen in the Kwakwani area believe that Rawlins is one of the persons who fled a safe house some 90 miles from the mining community of Kwakwani in the Berbice River when a party of policemen surprised them two Fridays ago.
However, there are reports that he was not at the location when the raid occurred.
He has managed to elude the security forces on several occasions, prompting the Administration to offer a whopping $50M for his capture, dead or alive.
The security forces say that Rawlins masterminded several daring robberies and murders, including robberies and the two massacres at Bartica and Lusignan in which a total of 23 persons were killed.
The security forces also reported that they recovered a diary which indicated that the wanted man was planning another massacre to avenge the death of his sister, Marcyn King, who was gunned down three months ago while she was on her way home.
In the wake of the death of his sister, Rawlins’s mother had issued an appeal for an end to all the violence.
According to Minister Rohee, with the mode that the security forces are in at the present time, it is quite obvious that they are going all out to capture him.
“What is obvious is that the criminal enterprise is being dismantled piece by piece. This is going to be painstaking, but it will be done,” Rohee stated.
He, however, pointed out that to achieve success members of the public must give their support to the Joint Services.
