A suspect in the murders of two policemen in the north Pakaraimas area almost two months ago was detained by police during a raid in the area yesterday.
The police said that its ranks conducted a raid on a mining camp at Karisparu, North Pakaraimas where they found 176 pieces in Ibigel brand explosives.
Also during the search four Brazilians were arrested, one of whom the police had an interest in, in the murder of Police Constables 19510 Marlon Letlow and 21320 Ledon Aaron.
Only Friday last Acting Commissioner of Police Leroy Brumell in an invited comment said that they are still investigating the matter and were working on new leads.
The bodies of the two ranks were found at Paramakatoi, North Pakaraimas, on October 17, 2012, after they had left the Kato Police Station on patrol duties on October 14, 2012.
Reports are that the men went out on a routine patrol on Sunday October 14th and were returning to the Police Station when they were attacked.
Aaron’s remains were found at around 16:00 hours on Wednesday October 17 at Paramakatoi, North Pakaraimas, a short distance from the crashed All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) that they had left the police station with.
His .38 service revolver has not been recovered.
Letlow’s remains were found in a clump of bushes several hours later on the same day with his weapon, and a magazine with eight live rounds, close by. His body bore at least two gunshot wounds and other marks of violence.
Eight spent shells and one 12 gauge shotgun cartridge were reportedly found at the scene.
It is believed that the attack on the police ranks was retaliation from Brazilian miners, whom they had reportedly “shake down”.
