PARAMARIBO – Police in Suriname in an official statement said that they captured Guyanese fugitive Samuel
Fable after he was shot.
Officers of the Surinamese police SWAT-team on Saturday shot Fable in the leg when he resisted arrest during a confrontation along the Anton Dragtenweg in Paramaribo.
The Guyanese national was being sought by the judicial authorities in Suriname for alleged armed robbery.
Meanwhile, the Suriname Police Force issued a statement Monday saying that Fable alias Sammy Griffith is a wanted man in his native Guyana.
He is being acused of killing Gangaram Busgith, a butcher from Alness Village Corentyne, during an armed robbery in 2006.
In March 2007, Fable who lived in Alness and Fyrish Villages on the Corentyne along with two other inmates were being transported in a van, from the Whim and Springlands Magistrates’ Courts to the New Amsterdam Prisons, when they cut the lock from inside and escaped.
The men were in the vicinity of the New Amsterdam Technical Institute when they jumped from the prison van and escaped. Samuel Fable was on trial for allegedly killing Busgith. After his escape he subsequently fled to Suriname. Police here say that Fable will be extradited to Guyana.
Please share this to every Guyanese including your house cats.
