Family wants perpetrator to face full force of the law

Charlestown murder

The family of 25-year-old Anthony Yearwood called “Odinga”, a labourer of Lot 2 Drysdale Street, Charlestown, Georgetown, who was gunned down during a row over a robbery on Wednesday is now calling for justice to be served.
Police said Yearwood was shot to death at around 20:30h on the day in question while he was making his way home.

It was reported that the incident emanated from a dispute between the now dead man and the suspect over an alleged robbery which was reportedly committed by the suspect on a victim who was known to Yearwood.
The statement from Police read: “Preliminary information reveals that the incident emanated from a dispute between the two men over an alleged robbery committed by “Biggie” on a victim who was known to the deceased”.
Hours after the shooting incident the Police issued a wanted bulletin for the dead man’s murderer.
The Force stated that Lenroy Michael Forde, also called “Biggie”, is the suspect that is being sought for the heinous crime.
Meanwhile, on Friday, an aunt of the now dead man related that whatever was reported in the media about her nephew’s death, was exactly what she and her family were told.
She said since the incident, they have not heard from the Police, and are awaiting information with respect to their investigations. They are also unaware if the suspect has been recaptured.

The family said they want to see justice prevail in the man’s death, and they are calling on authorities to ensure that it happens swiftly.
Meanwhile, the suspect remains on the run while Police intensify their search for him.
