Brothers wanted for killing of peacemaker
One month after the beating to death of a 36-year-old peacemaker, the police have issued a wanted bulletin
Quincy Khan
for two brothers who they suspect are responsible for the killing.
Police say Leon Khan, 22, and his 25-year-old brother Quincy Khan are wanted for questioning in relation to investigations into the murder of Dennis Martin, which occurred on December 15, 2015, at Farm, East Bank Demerara.
Martin, a father of one, of Lot 5 Public Road, Farm, sustained a fractured skull and died hours after he was allegedly battered by the two brothers who reside in the same village.
According to information, the two brothers and Martin’s nephews had an altercation during which the nephews were wounded.
On December 14 last year, while on his way to the shop, Martin saw one of the suspects and confronted him. During the confrontation he was brutally attacked by both brothers. He was first taken to the West Demerara Regional Hospital after which he was transferred to the GPHC where he later died.
“(Martin) went to him (suspect) and tell (the suspect) that he hear that he violating his nephews and that it is the second time he violating them. The suspect then jump off the canter and start pushing his finger in my uncle face,” Melvorn Drakes, a relative of the dead man said.
“The two of them start to cuss out and then his brother (the second suspect) came out from his yard with a piece of wood and hit my uncle on his head from behind.”
Kaieteur News was told that the father of one collapsed on the roadway.
“He (Martin) fall down and they keep on beating he with two pieces of wood. They beat he in he head,

back, hand and everywhere else,” Drakes recalled.
He said that when the brothers finished with his uncle, he was unconscious and covered in blood.
The two brothers fled the village the same night of the beating and have not been seen since.
Police say Leon and Quincy Khan are of mixed race and their last known address is listed as Farm, East Bank Demerara.
Anyone with information that may lead to the arrest of Leon Khan and Quincy Khan is asked to contact the police on telephone numbers 227-2128, 227-1149, 225-2227 226-7065, 911 or the nearest police station.
