– suspects arrested
Brazilian Police have arrested two men in connection with the execution of Francisco Mesquita, the owner of META Airlines, which operates flights from Guyana to Boa Vista.
However, operations of META Airlines have not been disturbed, said local manager Andrea Flores.
Sources in Boa Vista have said that the men who have been arrested could have been hired to kill Mesquita.
The man was shot dead Thursday evening around 21:00 h in front of a pizzeria in the neighbourhood Aparecida, sources told Kaieteur News.
Police have arrested Vibaldo Nogueira Barros and his cousin, Cyril Pereira Barros. They are being held at the Monte Cristo Agricultural Penitentiary, Brazilian news reports stated.
The news reports quoted an investigator as saying that Vibaldo denied involvement in the crime, while his cousin gave another version to the story.
Perreira is said to have told Police that he was hired to take a man and the weapons to the crime scene.
After the crime was committed, witnesses chased down the two men and they were found at the office of Paramazônia Air Taxi, owned by Vibaldo.
Mesquita is married to a Guyanese woman, and the two of them had a daughter, Andrea.
META Airlines has been in operation in Guyana for the past 12 years. It operates flights from Guyana to Boa Vista and Suriname.
