2 confess to killing Surinamese man at Port Mourant

Two persons have reportedly confessed to killing a Surinamese national and dumping his body in a trench at Port Morant, Berbice last Sunday.
The suspects were allegedly hired to commit the murder.
Police in Berbice have reportedly taken five persons into custody including two brothers from Rose Hall Town, Corentyne, as the investigation continues into the death of 23-year-old Marciano Michel Lelon, called “Dutchie’, a labourer of Bangladesh, Port Mourant.
The motionless body of the Surinamese national was discovered at Bangladesh, Port Mourant, on the morning of December 22.
Two of those arrested have reportedly confessed to the murder.
The brothers allegedly told investigators that they were promised several million dollars by a murder accused, who is currently on remand for the death of a suspected teen bandit.
On October 26, 18-year-old Parmand Pertab, also called “Mikey”, of Lot 45 “C” Hampshire Village, Corentyne, died after being attacked by a vigilante group at Port Mourant.
Pertab and an accomplice had robbed a goldsmith at the Port Mourant Market. In the process of fleeing with the booty, the teenager was attacked and killed.
The incident was video recorded and shows a group of armed men inflecting injuries of a helpless Pertab, who collapsed and died shortly after.
Forty-three-year-old Seeindra Marimutoo, a poultry vendor called ‘Chicken Man’ of Portuguese Quarters, Corentyne, is currently before the court for Pertab’s murder.
According to reports, Lelon was also part of the mob that attacked the teen bandit but he was not charged and instead became a state witness.
It is alleged that a relative of the murder suspect contacted the Rose Hall Town brothers to reportedly kill the Surinamese national for implicating him in the murder of the teen bandit.
The brothers reportedly told detectives that they were promised payment when the murder suspect is released.
The brothers also took Investigators to the scene on Friday and pointed out where they dumped the body. Meanwhile, the Police have since arrested the sister of the murder suspect. Additionally, two other men, who had accompanied the brothers and witnessed Lelon’s murder, were also taken into custody. With the five persons now in custody, police are continuing their investigations. (G4)
