Cops seek enhanced CCTV footage of suspects who visited slain chef – friend further detained

Sep 21, 2019 News

Detectives seeking to identify Andre Gordon’s killer(s) were yesterday still working to enhance closed circuit television (CCTV) footage of individuals who had visited the US-based chef shortly before his body was found.
One of the visitors is a still unidentified woman who had accompanied Gordon into the Station Street, Kitty house, while the other is a 51-year-old friend, now detained, who visited Gordon last week Saturday, but said he never entered the premises.
Police yesterday received clearance from the High Court to further detain him as they check out his alibi.
“These men have been pals since school days,” an individual who is close to the friend said yesterday. “They never had any problems, such things (the friend harming Gordon), would never happen. We are trusting that he will be released.”
According to an official, investigators hope that enhanced security footage would also enable them to identify Gordon’s female visitor and ascertain if other individuals visited him.
CCTV footage in the area confirmed that the now-detained friend had visited Gordon.
Security camera footage also showed Gordon and a woman, believed to be a foreign national, entering the same residence last week Friday night.
The woman is seen leaving alone the following day.
Gordon, 51, is believed to have been murdered sometime between last week Friday night and Sunday.
A post mortem revealed that he was manually strangled from behind. Investigators are certain that the attacker was a male.
It is believed that the killer(s) carted off money and other valuables from the premises.
A friend discovered Gordon’s body on the kitchen floor at about 09:30 hrs on Sunday.
The victim was naked, and his wallet and short pants were on a nearby chair.
There was no sign of forced entry to the house, but a sliding door and grill door were unlocked.
Gordon reportedly arrived in Guyana on September 9, to train some local chefs.
He was scheduled to return home last Tuesday.
