Sadeek Juman
detectives continue to build a case against the individuals suspected of beating Sadeek Juman into a state of unconsciousness, and dumping him in a hotel pool.
Crime Chief Wendell Blanhum said that investigators have been granted a further 72 hours to hold the suspects. However, investigators yesterday released a 26-year-old friend of the hotel manager on station bail.
The suspects were taken into custody late last week, and ranks from the Major Crimes Unit have reportedly received statements about the circumstances that led to the November, 2012 killing of the 20-year-old mechanic. He was slain four days before his twenty-first birthday.
It is alleged that Sadeek Juman left his parent’s Blankenburg, West Coast Demerara home on Sunday, November 18, 2012, and visited his grandmother at Ruby, East Bank Essequibo.
Accompanied by a female friend, and others, he later headed to the Double Day Hotel at Tuschen, East Bank Essequibo. Information gathered by detectives indicates that while he was there, Juman got into “a heated exchange” with a group of men. The men inflicted a severe beating on Juman.
“They allegedly put him in a room at the hotel, and when the place was silent, they allegedly put him in the hotel pool to give the appearance that he had drowned,” a police official said.
A pathologist would later state that the mechanic died from drowning, compounded by blunt trauma.
