Police are seeking help from members of the pubic to locate a 44-year-old man who allegedly killed his wife in their Crane, West Coast Demerara (WCD) home on July 18, last.
The suspect, Vidol Anthony Rawlins disappeared hours after the police had found the nude body of his spouse, Candy Rawlins, with a stab wound to her neck and a confession letter, he had allegedly written, lying beside her.
Rawlins had also bound and gagged his 11-year-old step daughter before he fled the scene.
‘D’ Division Commander, Ian Amsterdam had 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 houses on the West Coast of Demerara and in the city, including the homes of Rawlins’ relatives.
“We are looking for him…We have searched a number of places but we didn’t find him… He keeps moving,” the Commander had told this newspaper.
Detectives, who are investigating this case, are calling on members of the public to contact the nearest police station if they have any information on the whereabouts of Rawlins.
A relative of the dead woman, Dale LaRose, said that they had received information that one of the man’s siblings is hiding him.
He explained that the individual went to the vacant house which the couple once shared and removed Rawlins’ clothes and working tools.
There are also reports that persons saw the alleged killer leaving his sibling’s home on numerous occasions.
“After he killed my cousin, then we hear that he killed he ex-wife and went in jail for seven years before,” La Rose said.
He also expressed dissatisfaction with the way the police are investigating this case.
“First of all, after this man killed her, he called a taxi. The police could have gotten a print out of the phone bill and called back the taxi and let the driver direct them to where he drop off Rawlins,” the relative suggested.
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 awoke the stepfather taped her mouth and tied her up in a chair,” a police source explained.
He added that the 11-year-old girl claimed that she managed to untie herself after some time and she 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 often.
The search for the construction worker continues.
