Gun in 2005 bank official killing was used in robbery

The handgun that was used in the unsolved execution-style killing of 46-year-old bank official Thomas Orderson was also used in a robbery, a police source said.
Kaieteur News was told that ballistics tests conducted on bullet casings found at the Kingston seawall area where Orderson was slain matched those that police had retrieved from a robbery in the city involving a female victim.
The police official said that the robbery occurred some time before Orderson was killed.
Thomas Orderson, a 46-year-old assistant manager at Citizen’s Bank, was shot dead in his car, in December 2005, in the vicinity of the Kingston seawall.
A woman had told police that a car had driven up to Orderson’s parked vehicle and that the occupants had shot Orderson before driving away.
Police had questioned a former football coach after being told that the football official had threatened to kill Orderson about a month prior to his death.
They had also detained a man from New Amsterdam, Berbice, whom they suspected had ordered Orderson’s execution.
However, no one was ever charged, and no clear motive for the killing was ever established.
