Interpol still to arrest mastermind in Corentyne murder

Almost one week after the International Criminal Police Organisation (Interpol) issued a red notice for the arrest of Marcus Brian Bisram, who is wanted by local law enforcement officers for murder, the accused is still at large.

Crime Chief Wendell Blanhum told Guyana Times that while he cannot give detailed information about the joint collaboration to arrest Bisram, he has confirmed that no arrest has been made thus far.
Bisram became the central point of the investigation after he was fingered in the murder of 26-year-old Faiyaz Narinedatt by several suspects who had already confessed to the murder and were subsequently charged. It is believed that the now wanted man might have made sexual advances towards Narinedatt but was blatantly rejected.
It was due to the embarrassment of being rejected that he ordered his bodyguard and others who were at a party to get rid of the carpenter. The carpenter was snatched and beaten into an unconscious state then his body was dumped on the roadside and run over with a car to make it appear as if he was the victim of a hit-and-run accident.
It was reported that the now dead man and the mastermind were friends, leaving persons in the community surprised. Meanwhile, seven persons, including the mastermind’s mother and sister, were charged in connection with the murder.
The two women were accused of offering $4 million as bribe to members of the Major Crime Unit (MCU) who had taken up the case after it was believed that Police ranks on the Corentyne were covering up the evidence that proved the carpenter’s death was a homicide and not a hit-andrun accident.
The body of Narinedatt was discovered about 03:45h on November 1, 2016, along the Corentyne Highway at Number 70 Village, at a scene which appeared to be that of a hit-and- run accident. Police had initially treated the incident as a hit-and-run, but reopened the investigation after relatives of the dead man kept calling for Police to further investigate the circumstances surrounding the man’s death.
