Guyanese man wanted for attempted murder in US arrested in Florida

A Guyanese man, who was wanted in the United States for questioning in relation to a 2021 attempted murder case, has been arrested by authorities after he returned to Florida.
According to Fox 13 News, 59-year-old Harry Sukhraj was arrested in Miami and later transported to the Hernando County Detention Center (HCDC), where he is expected to be charged.
Reports are that in July 2021, HCSO Deputies responded to a home on Luxembourg Court in Spring Hill to find a woman bleeding profusely. Investigation revealed that Sukhraj had committed the injuries.
An investigation by detectives revealed that the woman’s injuries were inflicted by Harry Sukhraj, who was seen leaving the residence in a 1999 Ford Econoline van.
When all efforts to locate Sukhraj had been unsuccessful, detectives suspected he left the country, fleeing to Guyana.
However, HCSO Detective George Loydgren contacted a representative at the US Department of State in hopes of locating the fugitive there. The agency was working alongside local law enforcement authorities to nab him.
On November 1, Sukhraj reported to the American Embassy in Guyana in an attempt to get a passport to travel to the United States. Detectives seized his original passport and other documents early in the investigation.
The detective then received word that Sukhraj purchased an airline ticket and planned to fly to New York but changed his plans at the last minute to travel to Miami.
When he landed in Miami, he was met by US Customs agents at the terminal. An HCSO warrant was served and he is being held without bail. He was additionally charged with fraud, insurance fraud, and perjury on a $5000 bond for a separate incident.
