Man on attempted murder charge vanishes from Blairmont Police Station

Oct 16, 2015 News

A man who was an attempted murder suspect and was arrested at Springlands, allegedly on his way to Suriname, is now on the run after he allegedly escaped from the Blairmont Police Station, West Bank Berbice on Monday, while court was in session.
According to information, the man allegedly wounded a woman on October 5 at Blairmont following a misunderstanding. The woman was hospitalized at the New Amsterdam Hospital and the man subsequently disappeared. The police commenced investigation and acting on information got wind that the man was on his way to Suriname where he lives.
They nabbed him at Springlands on Sunday.  He was ferried back to the Blairmont Police station where the necessary investigations were being conducted. The man was expected to be charged with attempt murder on Monday, but the necessary paper work was not completed so he was supposed to be taken back to the lock up when he mysteriously disappeared.
The Police Officer of Professional Responsibility (OPR) is reportedly investigating the matter.
In the meanwhile, investigation is ongoing into the conduct of ranks station at the Fort Wellington Police station who failed to visit the scene of a woman who was brutally murdered at Hopetown, West Coast Berbice, between October 3 and October 4. This follows complaints made by members of the dead woman’s family. The victim was 78-year-old Vaulda Britton.
The police had nearly bungled the investigation when they told family members who telephoned the station to report her death, to take the woman to the hospital and let the Doctor pronounce her dead.
It was later found after a post mortem examination that the woman was strangled, sodomized and raped.
