Proprietor of Arrowpoint Resort, Gerry Gouveia, has denied any knowledge of wanted woman Carolan Lynch being an employee of his, prior to revelation last week.
Speaking briefly with this newspaper yesterday, Gouveia, a former Chairman of the Private Sector Commission (PSC), said that persons are interviewed and employed by his Human Resources Manager, and that he does not usually know about every new member of staff.
He however disclosed that following media reports, he made an enquiry, and was told that Lynch was only a part-time worker at his nature resort which is located on the west bank of the Demerara River.
Gouveia said that Lynch had been working with his company on contract for about a month.
Lynch was arrested in 2007, following the death of her husband Farouk Razac, who owned the Swiss House Cambio.
In 2008, then Magistrate Gordon Gilhuys had discharged the murder charge.
However, the former beauty queen was rearrested almost immediately after for the same murder, and the charge was reinstituted.
In 2010, after she failed to appear before Chief Magistrate Priya Beharry on several occasions, an arrest warrant was issued, followed by a wanted bulletin.
After evading the law for a long time, police learnt a few days ago, that Lynch was working as a manager at Gouveia’s Arrowpoint Resort.
By the time police got there, the woman had already disappeared. The police suspect that Lynch had been tipped off.
Another wanted bulletin was issued for her last week.
Razac’s dead body was found on the floor of his Eping Avenue, Bel Air Park, house, where he and Lynch lived.
An autopsy had established that the man died of strangulation.
Investigations are now underway to ascertain whether Gouveia knowingly employed Lynch, a fugitive from justice.
