They say every rope has an end. This saying is true for Albouystown resident, Steve Allicock, a suspect in
the 2009 murder of Wendell Tappin.
Allicock was captured last Monday at Soesdyke, where he has been hiding out for the past five and a half years.
He was one of the persons implicated in the 2009 Old Year’s Day slaughter of Tappin in Albouystown.
His father, Leonard, and his uncle, Randolph, were charged with the murder.
Randolph Allicock never appeared before a judge but after a lengthy high court trial conducted by Justice Diana Insanally before a 12-member mixed jury, Leonard Allicock, was acquitted of murder.
Initial reports are that Tappin left his home on New Year’s Eve to collect a phone that he had given to someone to charge in Hill Street, Albouystown, when he was confronted by two men; one of them held him down while the other chopped him.
Steve Allicock, who police believe was the prime suspect in the murder, managed to avoid capture for more than five years.
However, this newspaper understands that the police, acting on information received, staked out a house at Soesdyke where Allicock was suspected to be hiding.
Soon enough their surveillance paid off and the police swooped down on the house where they arrested the suspect.
