America Street heist…Woman detained as cops probe execution conspiracy

Jun 15, 2012 News

Investigations into last Monday’s America Street heist have taken an unusual twist with police investigating allegations that a key player in the robbery was targeted for execution. They are also investigating links to this report and the execution of Albouystown taxi driver Renee Williams, two months ago.
Kaieteur News has learned that the investigation took an unexpected turn last Tuesday when one of the men detained in Monday’s heist alleged that a key player in the robbery was gunned down. The suspect also identified his accomplice’s alleged executioner, and the individual who allegedly paid for the accomplice to be killed.
Kaieteur News was told that the suspect also claimed that the individual who plotted his partner’s execution also plotted the execution of 25-year-old taxi driver Renee Williams, who was slain outside his Lot 138 King Edward Street, Albouystown, on April 30.
Williams, a former policeman, was shot twice in the back by a lone gunman clad in black, as he sat in his car with his wife. His killer was never held. Police have described Williams’s death as an execution-style killing.
Kaieteur News has confirmed that the suspect has implicated a 25-year-old woman from Albouystown in the killing. She was detained on Tuesday. The woman has denied any involvement in the two killings and has declined to provide police with a written statement.
Yesterday, detectives took the woman to CID Headquarters for further questioning.
On Monday, 22-year-old Odel Chase was shot dead during a confrontation with police ranks in Sussex Street.
It is believed that Chase, along with three other accomplices, escaped with $2M at around 20:00 hrs on Monday after holding an America Street moneychanger at gunpoint. They reportedly then escaped in a car before being tracked down to Sussex Street.
Before passing away, Chase identified his accomplices as ‘Omar’, ‘Cow’, and ‘Buck.’
The ranks also recovered a stolen white AT192 Toyota which the gang had used in their getaway. However, the stolen cash has not been recovered.
Two of the slain man’s alleged accomplices were detained.
The suspect known as ‘Cow,’ is said to be the driver of the AT192 Toyota, which the gunmen had used as their getaway vehicle. He was taken into custody after turning up at the Ruimveldt Police Station at around 21:30 hrs on Monday to claim that he was the victim of a carjacking.
The other man, Damion Allicock, called ‘Buck’ was detained shortly after midnight on Tuesday in Howes Street, Charlestown.
He was previously charged with Odel Chase for robbery under arms.
