The accused hit-man in a recent execution-style murder may also have played a role in the killing, almost a year ago, of Marlon ‘Trini’ Osborne, an associate of Ricardo Rodrigues.
‘Trini Osborne’ was shot and killed in Laluni Street, Queenstown, Georgetown.
Kaieteur News understands that police have been able to match the suspect’s fingerprints to those that detectives found at Osborne’s Achievement Place, South Ruimveldt Gardens home, which was broken into by three men on the very day of his November 2012 execution.
The burglars reportedly carted off jewellery, expensive wrist watches and other valuables. Two suspects were subsequently arrested.
The accused hit-man in this month’s killing was captured minutes after he had allegedly riddled his victim in a Greater Georgetown area. He was subsequently charged.
However, no one was ever charged with Osbourne’s murder.
Eyewitnesses said that Osborne, aka Marlon Scott and ‘Trini’, had just reversed his car out of a Queenstown yard when gunmen in another vehicle shot him.
Assault rifles were used in this attack, as well as in the killing, 15 days earlier, of Osborne’s associate, Ricardo Rodrigues, who was slain inside the compound of the Guyana Motor Racing and Sports Club on Albert Street.
Another man, Canadian Jean Le Blanc, who was also shot during that attack, died some days later at the Georgetown Public Hospital.
