Charlestown murder: Wanted bulletin issued for suspect

Police are looking for a man in relation to the murder of 32-year-old Rodwell Phillips also called “Fishie” of Broad Street, Charlestown, Georgetown.
The Guyana Police Force (GPF) on Tuesday said they are currently hunting 30-year-old Alex Nedd, who may have knowledge of the man’s death.

On Monday, a blood-stained cutlass was found next to Phillips’s motionless body. A chop wound was also seen to the centre of his chest, one to his right-side face, one to his left side back, and one to his left foot.
Phillips was pronounced dead on the scene and his body was taken to the Memorial Gardens Funeral Home awaiting post-mortem.
However, according to the dead man’s relatives, the man was reportedly chopped to death by a man, and there were several eyewitnesses to the crime. In fact, the Police related that they questioned several persons and are yet to review the CCTV footage.
Guyana Times was later informed that Phillips and the alleged suspect were involved in a heated argument sometime back and this might have led to a scuffle. It is believed that Phillips’s death is connected to the old grievance.
Since the murder, Police have been looking for Nedd, who continues to evade the cops.
Phillips leaves to mourn his two young sons, parents, and siblings. The family continues to call for justice for the man’s brutal death. (G9) W
