After 2 years on the run: Surinamese murder suspect arrested in Guyana

Ranks from the Guyana Police Force (GPF) recently arrested a Surinamese national identified only as Ludwig also known as «Tuna,» who had been evading capture in Suriname for two years.
Wanted for a series of serious crimes, including the murder of artist, Kajo Man, in September 2022, Ludwig was apprehended after entering Guyana with false travel documents. The arrest ends a two-year manhunt that began after Kajo Man was shot multiple times at close range following an argument. Authorities in Suriname also linked Ludwig to charges of manslaughter, aggravated assault, and firearms violations.
The shooting of Kajo Man, a well-known artist in Suriname, occurred after an altercation with Ludwig, who allegedly attacked the artist and shot him several times at close range. The suspect then fled the scene, triggering a massive search led by the Surinamese authorities.
In addition to murder, Ludwig was wanted for other violent crimes, including manslaughter and premeditated aggravated assault. His involvement in firearm-related offenses added urgency to his capture, as he was considered a threat to public safety.
Authorities believe that during his time on the run, Ludwig spent extended periods in Guyana, evading law enforcement through the use of fake identification and travel documents. Investigators in Guyana eventually uncovered his location, leading to his arrest. (G9)
