May 20, 2009 News

Investigators in the Guyana Police Force have questioned some ranks whose telephone numbers appeared on a cellular phone that was recovered from slain wanted man, Courtney James.
However, police sources said, yesterday, that they have so far unearthed no incriminating evidence to link the ranks to the dead bandit.

The AK-47 rifle and .32 revolver recovered from the Haslington, East Coast Demerara house.

According to a senior police official there is enough reason to believe that the phone found on James when he was shot dead last Monday was stolen property.
He explained that it would have been reasonable to assume that the stolen phone had the numbers of the ranks as well as many other persons who had no connection whatsoever with James.
Kaieteur News understands that two numbers which appeared in the phone book of the instrument recovered from the dead bandit were those of two ranks stationed on East Coast Demerara while another belonged to a rank stationed on the West Coast.
The ranks have been cleared of any involvement with the dead criminal.
Meanwhile, a policewoman who was held in a house near the one that James escaped from last Saturday remains in custody.

The woman is claiming to have no knowledge of James activity although she lives in close proximity.
