Kandhai, 32, was gunned down in his Industry Railway Line grocery store on May 21, 2011.
Eyewitnesses said that the grocer was at his counter 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 him 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.
After viewing images on a surveillance camera, investigators identified Wayne Duncan as the gunman seen fleeing the scene of the killing. They then issued a warrant for his arrest.
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.
