Vlissengen Road.
The bulletin issued by the police yesterday, two days after police had detained a man and a woman from a Sophia residence, in connection with the incident said that Fordyce was now a wanted man.
Chung, 37, of Lot 142 Guyhoc Park, was shot in the chest and back at around 19.10 hrs, allegedly by two men who had abducted him from his wash bay at D’Urban Street and Vlissengen Road. Relatives later said that he was shot in the back while escaping from his captors. They said that Chung made his dash for freedom after the car suffered a puncture.
Kaieteur News understands that one of Chung’s abductors had a submachine gun.
A member of the Customs Anti-Narcotics Unit (CANU) was conversing with Chung when the gunmen attacked near to the wash bay. The CANU officer was relieved of his firearm.
Police say that Fordyce, who is well known to law enforcement, is 39 years old. His last known address is listed as 271 South Ruimveldt Gardens.
Anyone with information that may lead to the arrest of Freeman Fordyce is asked to contact the police on telephone numbers 225-6411, 225-8196, 226-7065, 227-1149, 911 or the nearest police station. All information will be treated with strict confidence.
