Wanted ex-soldier captured

Sep 29, 2010 News

Just a few days after issuing a wanted bulletin for him, police have captured ex-soldier Keron Hebert, who is a suspect in the murders of Bartica gold dealers, Jainarine Raghubar and Ramdeo Deonarine.
Kaieteur News understands that the 24-year-old Hebert was nabbed yesterday in Garnett Street Campbellville. He was on a motorcycle when police were closing in on him.
According to a source, the former soldier left his motorcycle and attempted to flee on foot but was eventually captured.
He is being detained at CID Headquarters, Eve Leary.
The circumstances that led to his arrest are unclear.
Police had given the suspect’s last known address as Lot 31 ‘A’ Morocut Square, East La Penitence.
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 persons 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.
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 also recovered the firearm owned by Ricky Ramnarine, the man in whose home the gold dealers were killed.
