- suspect on the run in Guyana
THE alleged suspect in the murder of a Guyanese woman in Trinidad continues to elude the Police on the West Coast of Demerara, where he was sighted by a relative of the deceased.
Reached for an update, a Police source said the man seems to be on the run as there has been no other sighting of him. Reports are that he has failed to return to the home where he once lived.

Anela Persad, 24, who hailed from Essequibo Coast, was found strangled on October 18, 2007, in the apartment where she lived on Frederick Street, Chaguanas, not far from Chaguanas Borough Corporation.

The suspect, said to be a close acquaintance was also responsible for the dead woman to migrate to the twin-island republic, where the suspect had been living for sometime.

The relative, who had sighted the man at a West Demerara village market-day and subsequently contacted the Police, had said that when her relative met her death in Trinidad the relationship between her and the suspect was strained.

Police, on conducting investigations were led to a house where the suspect was said to be staying and the occupants confirmed that he was indeed a resident, and was also living in Trinidad for sometime before returning.

A search of the room which the suspect had occupied and belongings unearthed Trinidad and Guyana identification cards, but bearing different names. Those and other documents were taken away by the Police.
