Jamaican charged with attempted murder of ex-policeman
A Jamaican national who has been domiciled in Guyana for about three years, has been charged with attempted murder.
The man, Rovin Mickey McLean, called ‘Jamaky’ 41, of Lot 103 ‘B’ Independence Avenue, Rose Hall
Rovin Mickey McLean
Town, is accused of attempting to murder ex-policeman, turned businessman, Ravi Outar. On Wednesday, June 10, he allegedly attempted to murder Outar.
The man appeared on Monday before Magistrate Maurica Mittleholzer at the Albion Magistrate’s Court. He was remanded to jail until June 29.
Ex-policeman Outar who was shot four times in an apparent execution attempt at his home and business premises around 20:35 hours on Wednesday, remains in a critical, but stable condition, at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation.
The 29-year-old Outar was transferred from the New Amsterdam Hospital where he was first admitted.
Outar, a former cop during the crime wave of the early 2000s, had been running a bar for the past several years. He was sitting outside his business place at 143 Second Street, Rose Hall, Berbice, when a lone gunman walked up to him and shot him four times.
According to reports Outar and an overseas based businessman had some misunderstanding and it is alleged that the shooting stemmed from that issue. McLean lives on the premises owned by the overseas businessman and was allegedly the driver of the getaway car.
After the man was shot, his wife Meshell noticed a lone gunman calmly walking out of their sports bar and boarding a waiting car, in which he escaped.
Neighbours who heard the gunshots, rushed to the scene only to see the badly wounded Outar lying on the ground with blood pouring from his wounds.
He was then rushed to the New Amsterdam Hospital before being transferred to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC).
The wounded bar owner had allegedly recognized his shooter and had told police who he is. Two others are in custody while the police are on the hunt for others.
Outar is no stranger to bullet wounds, having survived an execution attempt while serving as a policeman way back in 2002. On that occasion, he was shot in his foot when gunmen from Buxton attacked the patrol vehicle that he was driving in the Coldingen area.
A number of others were injured. The patrol vehicle was later set on fire by the gunmen.
