No fresh leads on Stanleytown murder
– suspect released on station bail
The minibus driver who was detained in connection with the death of 22-year-old Dexter Alleyne earlier this month has been released on station bail from the La Grange Police Station, West Bank Demerara.
Police sources have said that no new discoveries have been made in this case.
The bus owner, who was detained on December 20, was a friend of the victim; he also lives on the West Bank of Demerara. Investigators had previously noted that there was suspicion that Alleyne was murdered elsewhere and his body dumped in the vicinity of his home.
Added to this, a source within the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of Vreed-en-Hoop explained that the police were looking into another possible lead. The source explained that there may be some involvement of a group called the “50 Cent Crew.”
This group is said to be comprised of some eight individuals between the ages of 18 and 25 years old. The minibus owner who was detained is said to have some linkage to this group, however the police are still conducting their investigations.
Since this theory has surfaced, the police have not detained anyone else in connection with the murder.
Alleyne’s body was discovered just opposite his home at Stanley town.
There was a mark on the dead man’s neck, which many thought was made by an ice pick. Despite this, a post mortem examination of the slain youth revealed that the cause of death was asphyxiation due to compression to the neck, compounded by blunt trauma to the head.
The youth’s death has perplexed residents of the Stanleytown area, since no one from the environs claimed to have heard any sounds out of the ordinary that night when it is believed the youth was murdered.
“Is jus’ so!” said a resident of the area. “No one ain’t know exactly wha’ went on, nobody ain’t got no kinda clue as to wha’ happen. Is just so you wake up and see a dead man.”
