Surinamese rice miller nabbed in Berbice after 16-year run from jail

Jan 29, 2011 News

Berbice police has nabbed a Surinamese man who disappeared since 1995 after being jailed in Guyana for issuing bounced cheques to rice farmers.
Police officials yesterday confirmed that Krishna Paul Doerga was arrested last week on an outstanding jail warrant by police at Whim Village, Corentyne.
The Surinamese had been sentenced to three years in absentia. Kaieteur News understands that Doerga was issued with a licence to operate a rice mill.
In 1995, he was accused of buying paddy from farmers and issuing cheques although he had no money in his account.
He was charged and placed on bail. However, Doerga reportedly fled the country back to Suriname.
According to a conviction warrant issued by a Berbice magistrate on January 13, 1995, Doerga bought paddy to the tune of $6,332,000 from Girjawattie Ganesh. He then issued two cheques- one for $3M, and another for $3,332,000, knowing that at the time, he had no money.
After being found guilty in his absence, the magistrate sentenced him to three years in jail.
