Suspect in grocer’s execution style killing captured
Mark Kandhai
After almost two years, police say that they have finally captured the man who gunned down Industry, East Coast Demerara grocer, Mark Kandhai in his store.
Police said, that the suspect was arrested this week at a South Ruimveldt residence. Investigators had identified him from images of the fleeing killer that were recorded on a surveillance camera.
According to reports, Kandhai, 32, was in his Industry Railway Line grocery store on May 21, 2011, when a man disembarked from a white car and entered the shop.
The ‘customer’ then asked the grocer for an item, but when Kandhai was about to serve him the man drew a gun and shot his victim in the head and stomach.
“Is when he (Kandhai) turn around to hand he de thing….de man start fuh shoot he….De first bullet miss and de second one went straight to the head and the other to the belly,” a relative had recalled.
Relatives rushed him to the Georgetown Public Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Police had disclosed at the time that Kandhai was suspected of being involved in drug trafficking and that they had searched his home shortly before his death.
The grocer was also suspected of being involved in the theft of some $6M from an interior resident.
