Cops capture one in oral sex killing

Aug 11, 2017 News

Police have detained a suspect in last June’s bizarre shooting death of Orlando La Cruz, over his alleged refusal to perform a sexual act with one of his drinking buddies.
A release stated that the suspect, who is reportedly from Port Kaituma, North West District, was arrested at 13.00 hrs yesterday at Mabaruma. He is likely to be charged.
Orlando La Cruz, a 40-year-old Pomeroon miner, was shot dead last June, allegedly after he refused to perform oral sex on one of his drinking buddies at Jack and Vieira Backdam, North West District.
Police had identified the alleged killers as Joey Kerr and ‘Eustace,’ who is reportedly from Port Kaituma.
According to reports, La Cruz was lying in a hammock in his camp when the two suspects visited him, after which they began consuming high wine and water.
Shortly after, one of the men was heard telling La Cruz to perform oral sex on him, but when the man refused, an argument erupted between the three men.
The suspect allegedly collected a cartridge from the second suspect and loaded his shotgun. He then placed the weapon to the right side of the victim’s neck and pulled the trigger.
The two suspects then made good their escape in nearby bushes. This newspaper was informed that when a rank visited the scene, the victim was found lying in the hammock, bleeding from the wound. La Cruz was pronounced dead at the Matthews Ridge District Hospital.
