– residents nab suspect
Veteran gold miner Timothy Adams was found murdered at around 09:00 hrs Monday on the Five Star, North West District trail.
A shopkeeper found the 57-year-old Laluni Street, Queenstown resident lying near his all-terrain vehicle (ATV). Police said that the body bore a wound to the neck. Other reports suggested that he had been clubbed to the head.
Robbery is believed to be the motive, since a quantity of raw gold that Adams had in his possession was missing. Kaieteur News understands that residents in the area have detained a mining camp worker who was allegedly found with a quantity of gold, believed to have been taken from the victim.
Pamela Adams, the slain man’s wife, told reporters that her husband had stopped to chat with a friend at a shop before heading back for camp on his ATV. According to Ms. Adams, the shopkeeper reported seeing the suspect leaving some 15 minutes before the miner departed.
She explained that there is only one entrance in and out of her husband’s camp. It is suspected that the killer concealed himself along the trail and ambushed Adams as he was passing on his ATV.
“The police say like he (Adams) really fight to go back on his bike, because they find him with one foot on the bike. Like they lash him on his head and then stab him in the neck and take whatever gold he had.”
According to reports, the suspect later attempted to buy drugs with the stolen loot. However, a shopkeeper observed that the gold the man had, appeared to be wrapped in a similar manner as the gold Adams had left with. Residents who were alerted beat and tied p the suspect before turning him over to the police.
Eric Adams, one of the victim’s children, said that the same individual is suspected to have recently stolen about three ounces of gold from his father’s camp.
The father of five had a mining operation at Five Star, and had been working in the interior for about 40 years. He had been in his camp since around May, but was planning to return home yesterday to spend Christmas with his family. In fact, his wife, Pamela Adams, had already bought his Christmas gift.
“My mother had gone out and bought him a rocking chair, but now she doesn’t want to see it,” the son said.
Adams’ body was transported from the interior to the Lyken Funeral Parlour yesterday.
