Cops confident of capturing shopkeeper’s killers

Mar 09, 2014 News

Police appear confident they will eventually track down the men who allegedly robbed and killed shopkeeper Sheniza Khan Bhola at Rock Creek, Cuyuni/Mazaruni a week ago.
An official confirmed on Saturday that police are working on the theory that two of Bhola’s former employees murdered her and made off with cash, gold and other valuables from her shop.
“We have an idea who we are looking for; we know where they sold the gold; we know that one of them is from Berbice,” the official said. Kaieteur News was told that police conducted a number of raids in areas where they were told one of the suspects was hiding, but failed to locate him. However, the source indicated that police are closing in on the suspects.
Relatives of the slain businesswoman alleged that the ex-employees sold some of the stolen gold in Bartica. They had also received reports that the men were seen boarding a bus at Mahdia last week Friday.
One of the suspects is of mixed ancestry and is known as  ‘Kishan.’ He is said to be from Mahaica. His alleged accomplice, who is of African ancestry, is known as ‘Nathan’ and is said to be from the Corentyne.
Bhola, 34, of Parfait Harmonie, West Bank Demerara was found dead in her locked shop at Rock Creek Backdam, Cuyuni/ Mazaruni two Thursdays ago. The body bore stab wounds as well as injuries to the head.
Bhola, who has two children, aged 14 and 13, had operated her shop for about four years.
The gruesome discovery was made after an elder sister peered through a window and saw Bhola lying motionless on her bedroom floor.
Relatives allege that Bhola had provided the men with food and later and found employment for them. According to reports, Bhola had even bought equipment for the men to assist them in prospecting.  It is alleged that the men also sold the equipment after killing her.
