Pensioner faces charges for harbouring escapee

Dec 22, 2008 News

The five persons, including two pensioners, who were arrested on Saturday last when wanted escapee Ronald Daniels was caught are still in police custody and could face charges for harbouring the fugitive.

Reports are that among those detained are a grandmother and her grandson, who were found in the house where an illegal weapon was also found.

According to a police source, charges are likely to be instituted against the five persons. This newspaper was told that a file has been sent to the Director of Public Prosecutions seeking advice on the charges.

On Saturday last, at around 10:20 hours, police ranks acting on information went to a house at Sideline Dam, Queenstown, Essequibo Coast, where they found Ronald Daniels.

Reports are that the 28-year-old Daniels, called “Black Boy,” who was serving a three-year sentence for break and enter and larceny, escaped from the Mazaruni Prisons on December 12, 2006.
In the house where Daniels was found, a man and a woman were arrested.

Further information then led police ranks to a house at Queenstown, where they found an unlicensed 12 gauge single barrel shotgun. At that house, a man and two females were arrested.

While on the run, Ronald Daniels was suspected to have committed a number of offences, including the murder of businessman Indar Gajadhar of Zorg, Essequibo Coast, which occurred on February 27, 2007 at Onderneeming Backdam.

He was also suspected to have committed several acts of simple larceny on the Essequibo Coast.
There are reports that Daniels may have also been responsible for a number of sexual assaults in some villages along the Essequibo Coast.

The administration had introduced legislation to deal with persons who harboured persons wanted for committing criminal offences.

This followed intense efforts to capture the late Rondell Rawlins, who was at one time the country’s most dangerous criminal.

At the time of the introduction of the legislation, Rawlins was being aided and abetted by a network that was a miniature of the infamous Al Qaida.
