Cops seek ‘Big Foot’ for murder of South Central proprietor
Police are trying to locate 19-year-old Brian Leitch, called “Big Foot,” in connection with the murder of South Central proprietor Joseph Jagdeo, whose bound, gagged and strangled body was discovered in a room at his South Road premises three Thursdays ago.
A police release stated that Leitch is of African ancestry, medium build, and that his last known address is Lot 2118 Diamond Housing Scheme, East Bank Demerara.
Wanted: Brian Leitch, called “Big Foot
Anyone with information that may lead to his arrest is asked to contact the police on telephone numbers 225-6411, 225-8196, 226-7065, 227-1149, 225-6941, 911 or the nearest police station.
All information will be treated with strict confidence.
An employee of the slain proprietor had told Kaieteur News that an individual known as ‘Big Foot’ had rented a room at the guest house at the time that Jagdeo was murdered. He is said to be the boyfriend of a woman who frequented the hotel.
The man is believed to have stolen two cell phones from Jagdeo and Kaieteur News was told that police recovered one of the phones from a woman who resides in Kitty. The woman reportedly identified the former hotel guest as the individual who gave her the phone.
Jagdeo, 62, was found under a bed in Room Ten at around 08:00 hrs on Thursday, November 14, after some employees who had not seen him since the previous day, became concerned about his whereabouts.
The cause of death was given as asphyxia due to manual strangulation.
