Guyanese wanted for murder of Rosignol businessman arrested in Suriname
Kaieteur News – Carlos Evans, the suspect who the Guyana Police Force (GPF) had issued a wanted bulletin for back in 2020 in relation to the murder of Tony Bisnauth, a businessman of Rosignol, West Bank Berbice, was on Saturday arrested by law enforcement officers in Suriname.
Arrested, Carlos Evans
Surinamese media reported that Evans was reported to the police last week after he allegedly hit a man in the face with the butt of a handgun. After a report was made to the police in Suriname, he was spotted on Saturday at a location called Combe, where he was arrested. He is currently being investigated for any other criminal activities committed in Suriname.
Kaieteur News had reported that 31-year-old Evans along with his brother Medellin Orlando Evans was wanted by the police for the businessman’s murder. However, in September 2022, Medellin met his demise after he was stabbed to death in Suriname during an argument over money. It was reported that on March 13, 2020, Bisnauth, a businessman of Rosignol, Cotton Tree Village, was celebrating his 78th birthday with his family and friends at ‘Sandra’s Snackette’ (a business he ran). Reportedly, at about 11pm three bandits, one armed with a cutlass and the other two with guns, crashed the small gathering and demanded the attendees to give them their cash and valuables. After the victims did comply, a scuffle ensued and the two bandits armed with guns opened fire, hitting Bisnauth and two others.
Bisnauth was shot in his left ear, and it was revealed in his autopsy that that was the cause of his death. The three bandits fled the scene with an undisclosed amount of cash, a pair of gold coloured earrings, and a gold coloured pendant chain, which they had stolen off of Bisnauth.
