“Rastaman” wanted by Police for chopping miner to death
The Guyana Police Force (GPF) on Thursday issued a wanted bulletin for David London Jnr, also called “Rastaman”. He is wanted for questioning in relation to the murder of Eon Roberts, popularly known as “Youthman”, or “Lilman”.
This incident, according to the Police, occurred at Granny Backdam Landing at Omai in Region Eight (Potaro-Siparuni) in the wee hours of Monday, June 19, 2023.
Based on reports received, Roberts, of Mahaica, East Coast Demerara, and the suspect Rastaman, of Mackenzie, Linden, were involved in a heated argument over the suspect’s girlfriend, a Venezuelan national. The argument eventually led to an altercation, during which the suspect armed himself with a cutlass and dealt Roberts two chops to his left hand, resulting in him sustaining severe injuries.
A shop owner in the area reportedly assisted others in transporting the injured Roberts to the Mackenzie Hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
The scene was reportedly processed and statements were taken as Police continue their investigations.
The suspect has, however, fled the scene, and has since not been seen or heard from.
As such, the police are asking anyone with information that may lead to his arrest to contact them on telephone numbers: 225-8196, 226-6978, 911, or at the nearest Police station.
