Missing GEA employee …Cash withdrawn from victim’s account

Jan 06, 2013 News

The prime suspect in the disappearance of Guyana Energy Authority employee LeVoy Taljit was in possession of the missing man’s bank card and reportedly withdrew money from Taljit’s account after he vanished, a close associate said yesterday.
Kaieteur News was told that the man handed over the bank card to the police after taking them to a house where he had hidden it. The associate said that the suspect withdrew some $50,000 from Taljit’s bank account, but claimed that the missing GEA staffer owed him money and had given him the bank card.
According to the source, the two men communicated extensively via an internet site. A senior official said that investigators are going through the men’s computers in the hope of unearthing any evidence about Taljit’s whereabouts.
But police are said to be running out of time regarding the detention of the suspect and will be forced to release him if no more evidence surfaces. Yesterday, detectives again carried out several unsuccessful searches up the Soesdyke/Linden Highway. Some of the suspect’s associates were still in custody yesterday.
The 32-year-old Soesdyke resident has reportedly told police that Taljit visited his home around the time of his disappearance. He alleged that the young man had a bag of money and asked the suspect to stash the Toyota Raum. He is said to have also claimed that Taljit left in another vehicle.
Phone records reveal that someone had used Taljit’s mobile phone in the vicinity of Marudi, on the Soesdyke/Linden Highway, a few days after he went missing. The individual also used Taljit’s phone to make a call to a land line.
Indications are that investigators believe that Taljit came to serious harm after being lured away from his home.
