After over 2 years on the run: Man wanted for Linden shallow grave murder caught in Suriname

Members of the Paramaribo Regional Assistance Team on Thursday apprehended Shaquawn Alleyne, better known as ‘Izwe Boss’, who has, since 2021, been wanted by the Police in Guyana for the brutal murder of his 20-year-old girlfriend Shonnette Dover.
After being shot and killed on April 3, 2021, Dover was buried in the suspect’s backyard, but a younger sister of the victim, who had witnessed the shooting, alerted Police to what had transpired. With guidance from that sister, the victim’s decomposed body was found in a shallow grave aback Alleyne’s Canvas City Linden home on April 30, 2021.
Alleyne’s father and Dover’s 15-year-old sister had been arrested during the investigation. Police had indicated that the teen had led them to the shallow grave where the missing woman’s remains were buried after confessing to being at the scene of the crime when the woman died on April 3, 2021.
A post-mortem examination (PME) had been conducted on Dover’s body, and it revealed that she had died as a result of a single gunshot injury to the head.
On May 4, 2021, Dover’s teen sister was charged with accessory after the fact of murder in relation to Dover’s death.
Alleyne had since managed to elude the Police, and Guyanese authorities had strongly suspected that he had fled to Suriname in order to evade arrest.
After thorough investigation, he was identified, arrested, and handed over to the Police in Suriname for arraignment. Surinamese media have reported that he will be transferred to Guyana according to procedure.
