Guyana’s most wanted man 17-year old Tyrone Rowe called ‘Cobra’ yesterday turned himself over to police, ending months of a massive manhunt that stretched from the city to the west and East Coast of Demerara.
Rowe’s surrender was negotiated by social activist Mark Benschop, whom he had contacted after eluding another police dragnet yesterday morning in the Le Repentir Cemetery, where he had sought refuge.
Police say that Rowe is wanted in connection with several robberies and at least two murders.
Rowe in an interview with members of the media shortly before he was collected by two jeep loads of heavily armed ranks, denied all the allegations that the police are leveling against him.
