Lindo Creek killings… Brothers who ‘used’ dead man’s phone released

Oct 07, 2008 News

Police yesterday released the three brothers whom they had questioned about how they came into possession of a cellular phone that allegedly belonged to slain Lindo Creek miner Dax Arokium.
An attorney for the brothers told Kaieteur News that his clients were released on $10,000 station b

ail at around 18:00 hrs yesterday.
Kaieteur News has confirmed that police had initially considered the brothers to be suspects in the slaying of Dax Arokium and the seven other Lindo Creek miners.
They were booked for murder, and were reportedly kept at separate locations.
According to sources, police even isolated the youngest brother from other juvenile offenders, since it was believed that he was an associate of the feared Rondell Rawlins Gang.
The eldest brother, who is a member of the Guyana Defence Force, along with his 15-year-old sibling, was detained on Friday.
The third was arrested at his Christianburg, Linden home on Saturday.
Relatives have described the brothers as law-abiding youths who were wrongly implicated after the youngest brother found “a battered cell phone”, later suspected to have been Dax Arokium’s, and took it home.
A relative of the brothers said that the youngest sibling, who still attends school, found the cell phone in Christianburg, Linden, several weeks ago.
The relative said that the teen took the phone home and removed the chip.
They allege that the chip was inserted into another phone, which the siblings used to make calls to other relatives and associates.
But the sibling who is in the army became concerned after Kaieteur News published a story indicating his phone number was among several numbers that had appeared on a list of calls made from Dax Arokium’s missing cell phone.
The relative said that, on Thursday, the brother went to a senior army officer and explained the circumstances under which the phone had come into his youngest brother’s possession.
Kaieteur News was told that the officer advised the brother to report the matter at Camp Ayanganna, and he was further advised to give a statement at Police Headquarters, Eve Leary.
The relatives claimed that the army rank, accompanied by his 15-year-old brother, visited Eve Leary on Friday. They were promptly detained, the relative said.
The relatives further allege that, on Saturday, police ranks from Georgetown and Linden arrested the third brother at the family’s Christianburg home.
Telephone records revealed that 72 calls were made from the missing cellular phone during one week in August.
