Wanted man nabbed in Berbice for 2009 murder

Jun 09, 2015 News

Wanted man Errol Kesney, called “Shortman”, 31, who gave his address as Pilot Street, New Amsterdam, was on Sunday morning nabbed in Berbice by alert police who were informed about his whereabouts.  The man was allegedly out liming when he was nabbed.
He is now facing murder charges for a killing he allegedly committed in 2009
Kesney when he was held had in his possession two grams of marijuana. The man was taken into custody and charged with possession of narcotics. He appeared in court on Monday and pleaded guilty of the narcotics charge.
The man had told investigators that he had been in Cayenne. However sources say that the man was frequently seen in New Amsterdam.
He was fined $10,000 and required to do five weeks of community service.  He was subsequently rearrested and placed in custody and is to be transferred to Georgetown, where he will face charges for the 2009 murder of fireman Patrick Ivor Daly.
The killing occurred at Land of Canaan, East Bank Demerara.
A 29-year-old firefighter of Lot 99 Esau Street, Land of Canaan, was doused with acid and then hacked to death by three men who had cornered him in a backyard toilet at his Land of Canaan, East Bank Demerara home.
He was chopped nine times with a cutlass and a machete while his reputed wife looked on helplessly. He collapsed and died from gaping wounds to his back and limbs. Police said that the ferocity of the attack left one of his legs partly severed.
Daly’s attackers fled the scene, leaving a bloody machete near his mutilated body.
Police sources said that they arrested two men and a woman in connection with Daly’s murder.
However, two of the main suspects, identified as ‘Bucko’ and ‘Short Man’ remained at large.
The victims are all from Land of Canaan and the two main suspects were tenants in the same two-storey house in which Daly, his reputed wife Denise George, and step-daughter Tiffany George live.
Kaieteur News understands that Daly had only moved to the area about five months earlier.
The brutal murder occurred just a day after the same gang had tried to kill Daly. On that occasion the fire-fighter had escaped by hiding in a neighbour’s yard.
Collapsing several times from shock and grief, Denise George recalled that she awoke at around 5:30 to prepare breakfast while her reputed husband went to the outhouse, as he habitually did in the morning.
The woman said that she was about to cook when she heard Daly calling her.
On going outside, she saw the suspects ‘Bucko’ and ‘Short man’, who were armed with a cutlass and a machete, standing near the outhouse door.
Ms. George said that Daly, who had shut himself in the outhouse, shouted to her to call the police.
“He say call the police, and he give me a number (for the Timehri Police Station), and I call, but the number ring out.”
Daly’s reputed wife began to plead with the men to spare her husband but ‘Short Man’ brandished the cutlass at her and warned the woman to “move out of the way or she would get it.”
While Daly remained locked in the outhouse, a third man, who was armed with an iron bar, arrived on the scene. He then used the metal pipe to wrench open the outhouse door.
“When they open the door, he (Daly) try to run but they throw the acid in he face and push he down and they start chop he.”
The men then fled the scene, leaving their mortally wounded victim on the ground. Daly succumbed shortly after from his injuries.
The woman and other residents alleged that the suspects were in the habit of disturbing other tenants by standing in front of the house where Daly resided while drinking alcohol and behaving obscenely.
