Alleged mastermind for court next week

Jun 18, 2011 News

Police are preparing to lay charges against Lekraj Fredericks, the alleged mastermind in the murder of Clifton Bonus, who was slain on a marijuana farm a week ago.
A senior police official said that Fredericks is likely to appear in the Christianburg Magistrates’ Court by Tuesday.
He is to be charged jointly with the 16-year-old boy who is the other accused in Bonus’s murder.
Bonus disappeared two Fridays ago, and police subsequently received reports from an eyewitness that he had been slain on a marijuana farm during an argument over marijuana seeds.
His partially decomposed body, which bore a gunshot wound, was recovered last week from a gully in the vicinity of the old Mackenzie Airport.
Bonus and Fredericks are in-laws. The latter is already on remand for the murder of 22-year-old Vernon Romaldo, who was stabbed to death at First Street, Garden of Eden, a few days after Bonus was slain.
The accused allegedly fled after killing Romaldo but was apprehended on the Soesdyke/Linden Highway.
Police were at first unaware that Fredericks was already in prison for Romaldo’s murder and were searching for him in connection with the killing of Clifton Bonus.
Kaieteur News understands that investigators were only tipped off a few days ago that the man they were looking for was already in prison.
