An eyewitness to the killing of Guyana Power and Light security boss, Clifford Peters, has positively identified the alleged trigger man behind Peters’s death a year ago.
The suspect, known as ‘Johnny’, was picked out from a police lineup yesterday.
A police official told Kaieteur News that investigators will be seeking legal advice to ascertain whether he will be charged.
According to a source, the man in custody has previous arrests, including one for attempted murder.
Police, acting on information, arrested him last Monday at a bar at the corner of Haley and Bent Streets.
Reports are that the police had been hunting the suspect for some time now.
Peters, of Essequibo Street, Lamaha Springs (Joint Services Housing Scheme) was shot dead on May 4, 2009, while accompanying a GPL crew to Lamaha Park squatting area to remove illegal electricity connections.
The crew was attacked by two armed men, and one of them shot him in the neck, chest and about his body.
The killers escaped with Peters’s licensed revolver.
Two suspects were charged with his murder but were subsequently freed.
