Family of murdered teen calls out Police for slothfulness in investigations

The family of 16-year-old Jumal Parks of Non Pariel Street, Albouystown, Georgetown, who was brutally murdered by three teenagers about two weeks ago, is urging the third suspect to surrender.
Thus far, the two teens who were arrested were later arraigned for the gruesome murder and were remanded to prison in November. Parks was killed on Front Road, West Ruimveldt, while he was at Wanita’s Carwash – his place of employment.
According to Police, the murder was committed by a 19-year-old labourer of Hunter Street, La Penitence; an 18-year-old unemployed male of West Ruimveldt along with a 17-year-old unemployed male of East La Penitence, Georgetown.
Following a disagreement between Parks and the three teens a few days before he was murdered, one of the suspects armed himself with a piece of wood, and visited the car wash and reportedly called out to the now dead teen.
The teen did not pay heed but the suspects advanced towards him, thus resulting in him running into a nearby house where he was brutally beaten and stabbed to the left side chest and his right upper arm.
The stabbing was reportedly done by the 19-year-old while the others dealt him several blows about his body with pieces of wood.

In an interview with Guyana Times on Tuesday, the dead teen’s mother, Shondelle Wright, called for justice for her son’s death and urged the teen who is on the run to surrender to the police.
She even expressed disappointment with the slothfulness of the police in handling the case. “Presently I am not pleased because I ain’t see no police come back to me and ask me how I making out… every day I ask and try to find out what the police doing because I want justice,” she said.
The aggrieved woman said the teen who the police claimed they cannot find is parading the road on a daily basis.
“Every day you go on the road you seeing him. He does be in Albouystown by the block, and by the time the police come he does done gone. He is on the road because everywhere my daughters them go, they seeing him. Every time we call the police, by the time they come he get away…”, she explained.
On this note, the family called on anyone with information that can lead to the arrest of the wanted teen to contact the nearest police station.
