Suspect confesses to murdering Brazilian businessman during robbery

Nov 23, 2013 News

– Surveillance camera records men entering and leaving victim’s premises

A Pouderoyen, West Bank Demerara man has reportedly confessed to killing Brazilian businessman, Vanderlei Kienen, who was stabbed to death at his Mahdia premises during a robbery last Wednesday.
A senior police official told Kaieteur News yesterday that surveillance camera footage also showed the suspect and two other men entering and leaving the slain man’s home on  the day of the murder.  Kaieteur News understands that the Brazilian had employed at least one of the suspects.
“We have a photograph of one of the men. They are employees (of the victim)” the official said.
Police said that the killers made off with millions of dollars in cash and gold which were taken from a safe. It is believed that the 48-year-old Kienen unwittingly let his killers in after recognizing the individual who is in custody.
Kaieteur News understands that footage from a surveillance camera showed three men standing outside Kienen’s business place on Wednesday evening. It reportedly then showed the Brazilian opening his front door for the men.
According to a source, the businessman is seen opening another door leading to an area where he does his transactions. At that point, one of the men who was armed with a knife, is reportedly seen chasing Kienen, who makes a vain attempt to secure himself behind the second door.
The same men are later seen leaving the slain man’s property.
Kienen’s body was flown to the Ogle Airport on Thursday before being taken to the Lyken Funeral Parlour.
Sources said that there has been an escalation in robberies at Mahdia, and that another Brazilian had to be air-dashed to the city on Thursday after bandits struck him in the head with a firearm.
