Police have detained two other suspects in connection with the murder of Lima resident Herman Ramnarine.
According to a senior police officer, the suspects were arrested yesterday after the main suspect indicated that the individuals were also involved in Ramnarine’s murder.
The man considered to be the prime suspect was reportedly identified as one of the robbers who entered the couples’ home. Police have indicated that charges are likely within a few days.
However, another man who was detained has been released. Police are hoping to recover the cash and jewellery the killers stole in order to make a stronger case against the suspects.
Ramnarine’s bound and gagged body was discovered in the bottom flat of his home last Thursday.
His wife, Haimwantie Ramnarine, was also beaten severely by the unmasked bandits, who escaped with an estimated $250,000, phone cards and jewellery.
Ramnarine died as a result of strangulation.
