Suspect in Plastic City murder nabbed at La Penitence Market

Jul 04, 2012 News

Acting on information received police went to La Penitence Market early yesterday morning where they nabbed murder suspect Michael Powley who was wanted in connection with the murder of Vishnauth Narine.
Almost a month ago, Narine and Powley were involved in an argument during which Narine received a single stab wound to his chest. Narine died while receiving medical attention at the West Demerara Regional Hospital.
This publication was told that Powley was arrested at around 09:15 hours yesterday, while in the La Penitence Market, by police ranks in plain clothes.
According to reports, the police had received information that the man was operating in the market where he sold coconuts for a living, soon after the incident. However, on more than one occasion police ranks had visited the market looking for the man, but he wasn’t located.
Meanwhile, Narine’s relatives said they were informed of the arrest late yesterday afternoon, but were very appreciative for the work of the police. Charges are likely to be laid shortly.
The dead man’s mother, Sheila Narine, had told this publication that the incident stemmed from a previous matter the two men had brewing. Mrs. Narine said her son’s killer was accused of stealing a gas bottle from a relative and was invited to the Vreed-en-hoop police station for questioning.
Both men were released after relatives opted to replace the gas bottle.
However the issue between the two men continued, as the night before the murder, police were in the Plastic City area looking for Narine after Powley reported that he was being threatened.
Narine was stabbed as he was making his way to the Vreed-en-hoop police station to clear his name on an allegation of threatening language.
