Kaieteur News – Twenty-five-year-old Seon Caesar, called ‘Ratty’ is wanted by the police in relation to the murder of Nelson Thomas, a miner of Kaneville, East Bank Demerara, who was killed during the course or furtherance of a robbery.
Wanted, Seon Caesar.
More than a month after Thomas was murdered, the Guyana Police Force (GPF) yesterday issued the wanted bulletin for Caesar. Anyone with information that may lead to the arrest of the murder suspect is asked to contact the police on telephone numbers 620-1943, 225-2700, 227-0968, 226-6978, 225-8196, 216-0252, 216-0254, 911 or the nearest police station. All information will be treated with the strictest confidence.
Kaieteur News had reported that on the night of September 9, 2021, less than a week after Thomas had travelled out from the interior to sign for his newborn baby, that opportunity was taken away from him, after bandits pounced on him and robbed him of his gold chain and his cell phone. The father of one was fatally stabbed during the attack.
It was reported by the police that the miner was killed sometime around 21:30hrs that night. He was reportedly killed after he left his Fourth Field, Kaneville home where he resided with his wife, his newborn son, and his mother.
Dead, Nelson Thomas.
The man had left his home to visit his uncle who lives at Second Street, Kaneville.This publication had reported that during an interview with Thomas’ relatives, they related that the deceased’s wife had given birth to her baby boy several days before Thomas returned home. As such, they stated, Thomas, who spends most of his time in Cuyuni, Region Seven, travelled out so that he could sign papers for his son.
“He left home to go by his uncle, who had promised him something, he only came out this week and today [September 10, 2021] he had planned to go sign for his one and only child,” Thomas’ aunt said. She further stated that after he left home, his wife had called him to inquire when he would return. It was at this point Thomas reportedly told his wife that he was 15 minutes away, and that he will be home soon. They noted that minutes later they got the news that Thomas was found dead with a knife wound to his chest.
It was reported that when they went to the scene, they saw Thomas lying on his back in a pool of blood with his eyes and mouth open. The miner’s body was then escorted to the Diamond Diagnostic Centre where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
On Friday September 17, 2021, Leroy Griffith, was remanded to prison for the murder of the 36-year-old Thomas called ‘Nelo.’ The matter was called in the Diamond/Grove Magistrate’s Court before Magistrate Sunil Scarce.
He was not required to plead to the indictable charge, which alleges that on September 9, 2021, at Kaneville, East Bank Demerara, he murdered Thomas during the course or furtherance of a robbery. Griffith is expected to make his next court appearance on October 26, 2021.
