A 21-year-old Venezuelan man who was wanted for questioning in connection with the murder of Animal Sonja, 51, also a Venezuelan, was apprehended and he is assisting Police in their investigations.
The suspect, who managed to evade Police, was captured and transported to Bartica, Region Seven (Cuyuni-Mazaruni), on Saturday last.
It was reported that Sonja, of Valencia, Venezuela, was bludgeoned to the head during an argument with the suspect over raw gold.
