Notorious wanted man, Samuel Fable, called ‘John Sampson’, ‘Charlie’, or Sammy Griffith, of Alness Village and Fyrish, Corentyne, who was among three high profile prisoners who had escaped from custody back in 2007, has been remanded to jail.
The fugitive appeared before Magistrate Rhondell Weaver at the New Amsterdam Magistrate’s court on the charge of escaping from lawful custody. He was not required to plead and was remanded to prison until August 11.
In March 2007, Fable who had no fix place of abode, and two other inmates -Derick Busjit of Black Bush Polder, and Gavin Balkisoon of No. 74 Village, Corentyne, were being transported in a van, from the Whim and Springlands Magistrates’ Courts to the New Amsterdam Prisons, when they cut the lock from inside and escaped.
The men were in the vicinity of the New Amsterdam Technical Institute when they jumped from the prison van and escaped. After his escape (Fable) he subsequently fled to Suriname.
Fable was on remand for the murder of Gangaram Busjit, a 27-year-old butcher in November 2006 at Liverpool, Corentyne.
Busjit was gunned down in his backyard. Reports were that the man had got up around 3 am on the day of his murder to go to the pit latrine, which is located not too far from the house. While downstairs he was shot several times. Police have also charged Seenarine Deonarine, 49, of Kilmarnock Village, Corentyne and Samuel Fraser called ‘Charlie’ of Liverpool Village, Corentyne for that murder.
Fable was captured in neighbouring Suriname by that country’s SWAT-team. He was shot in the leg when he resisted arrest during a confrontation along the Anton Dragtenweg in Paramaribo.
The Guyanese national was being sought by the judicial authorities in Suriname for alleged armed robbery.
Fable is expected to be recharged for murder.
