Bulletin issued for ex-soldier
Bartica robbery/murders…
Police have issued a wanted bulletin for ex-soldier Keron Hebert in connection with the murder of Bartica gold dealers, Jainarine Raghubar and Ramdeo Deonarine.
The bulletin said that 24-year-old Hebert is five feet five inches in height, dark in complexion, and medium built. His last known address is Lot 31 ‘A’ Morout Square, East La Penitence.
Wanted: Keron Hebert
Police appealed to anyone with information that may lead to Hebert’s arrest to contact them on telephone numbers 225-6411, 225-2700, 226-2917, 226-1326, 226-2870, 225-6941 or 911 or the nearest police station.
The bulletin said that all information will be treated with strict confidence.
The former soldier is believed to have played a key role in the murder of the two gold dealers and the theft of millions in cash and jewellery from their victims.
The booty is said to have included $25 million stashed in a suitcase, some 100 ounces of raw gold, a quantity of jewellery, a large diamond worth at least $15 million and two firearms.
The bulletin was issued a day after five people appeared in court on various charges related to the deaths of the two businessmen.
However, Rawle Newton, known as “Satan’s Ambassador”, was the only one charged with murder.
Newton was also accused of robbing Justin Gilkes at gunpoint of $40,000 worth of articles on August 14.
Another charge stated that on the same day, Newton robbed Arnold Hoppie of gold jewellery valued at $2.1M.
His brother, Michael Newton, was also charged with aiding and abetting his sibling.
Also charged were Tactical Services Unit (TSU) rank and Constable Marlon Letlow and former Immigration Officer, Linden Scotland. It was alleged that after the two men learnt of the murders, they confronted Rawle Newton and collected $1.4M and a motorcar from him. They were allegedly nabbed by police ranks while attempting to collect more money from Newton.
Kim Bumbury, Rawle Newton’s reputed wife, was charged with aiding and abetting him.
It is alleged that Newton went to Bumbury’s home and left a quantity of money and gold with her to keep.
During their investigation, police seized four newly purchased cars and a quantity of electrical appliances from homes in Meadow Brook, La Penitence and Agricola.
The police said that they also recovered the firearm owned by Ricky Ramnarine, the man in whose home the gold dealers were killed.
