– suspect recently released from prison for murder
Thirty-one-year-old Ketezel Bazillo from New Young Professionals Housing Scheme, Diamond, East Bank Demerara (EBD), was shot dead by his reputed wife’s lover in the wee hours of Sunday.
Following the shooting incident, the Police are on the hunt for the prime suspect, Muammar Jabbar also called “Omar Jabbar” of Albouystown, Georgetown. He was reportedly released from prison for murder about two weeks ago.
Wanted: Muammar Jabbar called “Omar Jabbar”
According to information received, Bazillo lived with his 38-year-old reputed wife, Wanda Jones, and four children (the youngest 12 and the eldest 16 years old).
Jones told investigators that around 22:00h on Saturday evening, she was decorating the home for the holidays when she contacted Jabbar, with whom she shares a relationship and asked him to buy some KFC and take it to the house.
Jabbar arrived at her home with a bucket of chicken and she invited him inside the house where he stayed the night.
However, at about 04:00h on Sunday morning, Bazillo returned home and called out to his wife for her to open the front door, but she hesitated. Bazillo became annoyed and he questioned the delay in his request.
She reportedly told him that Jabbar was inside the house and this angered him more. He then questioned the reason for her having a convicted criminal in his house.
After she refused to open the door, Brazillo went to the eastern bedroom window where he removed several louvre panes to gain entry into the house.
Upon doing so, Bazillo and Jabbar were engaged in a confrontation during which, the latter whipped out a handgun and discharged a round at Bazillo who subsequently fell to the ground.

Jabbar then went over him and discharged another round at the injured man. After committing the act, the suspect made good his escape. The Police were summoned to the scene where they found Bazillo’s body lying in a pool of blood with two gunshot injuries to his neck and chin area.
The detectives have since recovered a .32 spent shell from the bedroom. In addition, several broken louvre panes were seen in the bedroom. Police are continuing their investigation.
