Employees in UNAMCO ‘ambush’ still in custody

Jun 26, 2009 News

Police yesterday continued to question two men in connection with the gunning down on 34-year-old Thakoor Persaud on Tuesday on the UNAMCO trail.
Sources close to the investigation say that the two men were first questioned separately at the Wismar and Mackenzie Police Stations. They are at present being detained at Mackenzie.
They were traveling with Persaud when the attack occurred.
Robbery had initially seemed to be the motive, but investigators now believe that the killing was drug-related.
Persaud, along with four others, was charged in 2007in connection with the discovery of over 100 kilograms of cocaine in fish glue at an Enterprise, East Coast Demerara home.  However, he was not convicted. Initial reports are that Persaud, his brother-in-law, Solomon Low-A-Chee and another friend Ravi Deobarran, were heading to Persaud’s mining operation at 28 Miles UNAMCO Road, Berbice River when they were reportedly ambushed by gunmen.
The man’s reputed wife, Devi Dookie, said that as far as she was told, the incident occurred some time around 03:00 hours on Tuesday.
According to Dookie, she last saw her reputed husband on Monday when he left their Soesdyke home for an interior location.
