Investigators have intensified the search for 44-year-old Vidol Anthony Rawlins, who is the prime suspect in his wife’s murder which occurred at their Crane Housing Scheme home, on July 18, last.
‘D’ Division Commander Ian Amsterdam told Kaieteur News that ranks at every station, countrywide, are keeping an “eye out” for the suspected wife-killer, who according to the official, “thinks he is smarter than the police.”
The senior officer said that ranks in ‘D’ Division have searched a number of homes on the West Coast of Demerara and in the city, including the homes of Rawlins’ relatives.
Amsterdam had told this newspaper that since the murder of 30-year-old Candy Rawlins, his ranks have searched a number of places but came up empty handed.
“We are looking for him…We have searched a number of places but we didn’t find him… He keeps moving,” Amsterdam said.
A relative of the murdered housewife had told this publication that they had received information that one of the man’s relatives is hiding him in the city.
However, some of the man’s relatives claimed that the suspect moved from that location and is in Berbice.
“The people said that he moved from there, so I guess he keeps moving from one location to another,” the relative said.
This newspaper was told that the suspect was spotted in Crane, West Coast Demerara and in Alberttown, Georgetown. The police said that Rawlins had bound and gagged his stepdaughter before stabbing her mother to the neck.
According to a police source close to the investigation, the 11-year-old girl informed them that she was in her room when she heard her stepfather demanding sex from her mother.
She said that she “did not take the noise too serious” because constant quarrelling was a norm in the home.
“She said she went back to sleep. The next day when she woke up the stepfather taped her mouth and tied her up in a chair,” a police source explained.
He added that the girl claimed that she managed to untie herself after some time and ran to her mother’s room.
“When she see her mother she start scream and she run and call out for the neighbours who then informed us,” the police source said.
No one reported hearing any noise coming from the house. Neighbours had said that the couple fought and quarreled very often.
