Is man who allegedly killed his wife last month also responsible for the murder of Mahaica trucker Jadesh Dass four years ago?
This is the information that has come to detectives from the Major Crimes Unit, and they have been questioning the 41-year-old remand prisoner, who is also from the same area as the slain trucker.
The prisoner was charged in June for allegedly hacking his wife to death at her East Coast Demerara workplace and wounding another woman. He later surrendered to police. There are reports that the suspect may have driven the plotters and gunman to the area where Dass was killed. Police had reportedly impounded a vehicle that he had once used.
Meanwhile, the alleged gunman and two Chelsea Park, Mahaica brothers remain in custody.
The detained brothers include a sibling whose wife was allegedly having an affair with Dass, and another brother who allegedly paid an Albouystown man, known as ‘Buddy,’ $500,000 to execute Dass over the affair.
Police yesterday secured a High Court order to keep the men in custody for another 24 hours.
Charges are likely later this week.
Police had also questioned three other brothers from the same family, along with the alleged gunman’s sister, known as ‘Mala’. It was she who reportedly suggested to one of the brothers that they hire her sibling to carry out the murder.
There are reports that some of the suspects have been having an attack of conscience and that at least one of them had repeatedly divulged details about the murder while under the influence.
The detained gunman has reportedly told investigators that he was given a $200,000 ‘down-payment’, and collected a further $300,000 after the ‘job’ was done.
In the early hours of April 17, 2012, the gunman and other plotters parked a truck on Mahaica New Road. Leaving the hazard light on, the men pretended that the vehicle had broken down.
On his way to Soesdyke, Jadesh Dass, who was employed by one of the suspects, spotted the ‘broken down’ vehicle and stopped to help. When he exited the truck, the hired gunman shot him in the head and the killers dumped his body on the parapet of the Mahaica New Road.
