Police have detained a biker who they believe helped a gunman to escape following last Monday’s execution-style killing of minibus driver Elvin Lorrimer.
Crime Chief Wendell Blanhum said that the suspect was detained on Wednesday, and that investigators have impounded his CG motorcycle, while bore no licence plates.
Police had indicated that Lorrimer appeared to have been “deliberately targeted,” since the killer and his accomplice seemed to have made no attempt to take their victim’s cash, jewellery and other valuables.
One report is that Lorrimer, who was also a pastor, had a dispute with an individual who owed him money. Another report is that he had indentified two bandits on a CG bike, who had committed a robbery in the vicinity of the Linden minibus park in Hadfield Street.
Police said that Lorrimer, 53, of 184 Carter Road, Kara Kara, Linden, was standing on Hadfield Street, near the Linden Bus Park, at around 21.00 hrs, when two men rode up on a motorcycle. One of them discharged rounds at Lorrimer, before riding away with his accomplice. The victim was hit to his chest and left foot and was admitted to the Georgetown Public Hospital, where he succumbed.
Eyewitnesses said that one of the killers was brown in complexion while his accomplice was fair-complexioned. They reportedly both wore dark clothing and their CG motorcycle reportedly had no licence plates.
According to eyewitness reports, the men rode up to Lorrimer and the pillion rider immediately shot the bus driver. There are reports that the gunman rifled through Lorrimer’s pockets as he lay on the roadway, before escaping with his accomplice.
An eyewitness had told Kaieteur News that she was standing nearby when she heard a gunshot. She then saw Lorrimer lying on the roadside. According to the woman, she then heard another gunshot, and saw two men on a motorcycle riding in the direction of the Stabroek Market area.
BE THANKFUL AND GRATEFUL TO THE FOREIGN EXPLOITERS
