Man wanted for murder of Anglican priest nabbed in Region 8

A Berbice man who was wanted for the murder of Anglican priest George Chuck-A-Sang was arrested by Police in Region Eight (Potaro-Siparuni).
The suspect, Orlando Orin Ormando Richards of Gibraltar Road, Corentyne, Berbice, Region Six (East Berbice-Corentyne), was caught on Thursday evening last.
Police stated that based on information received, the 22-year-old man was apprehended and will be questioned in connection with the December 2020 murder of the priest.
Following an investigation, the Police had issued a wanted bulletin for his arrest in February last. In a statement on Sunday, Police said Richards is currently in custody at the Major Crimes Unit where further investigations are ongoing.
Two other persons, Rawle McPherson, 45, of Victoria, East Coast Demerara (ECD), and Mohanie Mohabir, 43, of Corentyne, Berbice, were already arrested, charged and remanded to prison for the murder.
The charge read that between December 21 and December 22, 2020, at St Sidwell’s Anglican Church, Vlissengen Road, Lodge, Georgetown, the suspects murdered Chuck-A-Sang.
The lifeless body of the Priest was discovered at his Lodge, Georgetown residence.

It was reported that his daughter, Renata Chuck-A-Sang, had last spoken to him via a WhatsApp call on December 18, 2020, but on December 21, 2020, at about 15:00h, when she attempted to contact him, his mobile phone went unanswered.
This prompted her to visit his residence at the vicarage of St Sidwell’s Anglican Church, but again she was unable to contact him. As a result, she went to the residence of the current priest, at North East La Penitence, Georgetown, and explained the situation.
They subsequently returned to her father’s residence and the priest opened the door to his office to give her access to the upper flat of the building. It was then the body of the elderly man was discovered clad in a pair of white briefs, lying motionlessly on the floor.
Based on reports, his body bore several stab wounds and his forehead appeared to be swollen.
