Relatives of the murdered police trainee, Constable 22011 Harold Sukhai, are disappointed at the pace of police investigations and the lack of information and contact with the family by investigators.
Sukhai, 25, sustained a single gunshot to the chest during an attack by three robbers, one armed with a firearm on February 10, last at the Tuschen, East Bank Essequibo area, where he was walking with his girlfriend at that time. After the shooting of the young police rank, police later interrogated three suspects, however, they were subsequently released.
Residents said that they are scared for their lives and noted that armed robberies, incidents of rape and burglary and larceny have been on the increase since around mid last year.
Reports disclose that two of the assailants are suspected to be part of a gang that has been preying on the Tuschen New Scheme.
However, residents noted that since the shooting, there has been a strong police presence in the area.
