Man wanted for Charlestown murder captured on fuel boat

Lenroy Michael Forde also known as “Biggie,” who was wanted by Police in connection with the murder of 25-year-old Anthony Yearwood, also called “Odinga,” of Lot 2 Drysdale Street, Charlestown, Georgetown, was on Saturday apprehended.
Based on information received, Forde was captured on a fuel boat en route to a mining area called Devil Hole, located in Region Seven (Cuyuni-Mazaruni).
In addition, a female associate of Forde was also arrested and placed into Police custody for allegedly harbouring a wanted fugitive.
One day after the fatal shooting, Police had issued a wanted bulletin for Forde.
It was reported that Yearwood was killed on Wednesday last during a confrontation with Forde. The incident reportedly emanated from a dispute between the two men over an alleged robbery committed by “Biggie” on a victim who is known to Yearwood.

Yearwood reportedly died on the spot, but was later confirmed dead when he was taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital.
His body was then placed in the hospital’s mortuary awaiting a post-mortem.
Nevertheless, since Yearwood’s killing, Forde managed to evade Police until he was apprehended on Saturday.
