Sep 15, 2015 News

Police have captured Oswald Junior Yaw, called Leow, the man who was allegedly hired on credit to kill Herstelling block-maker Nathan Persaud.

Crime Chief Wendell Blanhum told Kaieteur News that the 22-year-old from East Ruimveldt was arrested in the city today.

Kaieteur News understands that Yaw said he killed Persaud by first hitting him on the head with a clay-brick and stabbing him, then beating him to death with a hammer.

The alleged killer is said to have also told detectives that the woman who hired him promised him $1.7M to do the job.

According to the killer, she explained that she would raise the money by selling a pool table at her Diamond, East Bank Demerara business place.

Yaw was reportedly promised that he would be paid $100,000 per week.
