Suspect still in custody

Jan 07, 2009 News

Members of the Guyana Police and of the Customs Anti Narcotics Unit (CANU) were yesterday successful in their High Court bid to keep Nymrod Singh in custody for more than the lawful 72 hours.
According to the law enforcement teams, the extension was to facilitate “lengthy and thorough” investigation.
Attorney for Singh, Vic Puran, told this newspaper that he was not opposing this action.
According to Puran, an extension would help the police to do a “good investigation which would in turn exonerate his client from any wrongdoings”.
Singh was arrested by the police at Bartica last Sunday, after checking into the Platinum Hotel under the alias of Errol Daniels.
He had allegedly charted a speed boat for some $30,000 to Bartica as opposed to the regular speedboat service.
On Friday last the Customs Anti Narcotics Unit had issued a bulletin for Singh, seeking him for questioning in connection with the Miami drug bust. CBP officers inspecting containers at the Miami seaport were alerted by a CBP dog to a specific container loaded with furniture.
The officers attached to the Anti-Terrorism Contraband Enforcement team proceeded to examine the furniture.  They discovered three packages concealed within one of the pieces of furniture. In all 194 packages were found concealed in 72 pieces of furniture.
