This newspaper was told by relatives of the man that he was arrested on Monday afternoon. This newspaper was told that policemen went to his River View home and arrested him.
According to relatives he was taken to the Eve Leary Police Station where he was questioned.  Kaieteur News was told that at the time of the shooting Rodrigues was in the company of several persons, who are willing to attest to this.

On Monday last East Rumiveldt resident Chaka Chase was charged with the murder. His relatives along with his two lawyers Nigel Hughes and James Bond are arguing that Chase was tortured into admitting to the crime.
