Man wanted for murder of Berbice businessman nabbed

Police have arrested Daniel McLennon, called “Dutty”, who was wanted for the murder of Corentyne, Berbice businessman Lomenzo Jhonny, called “Sham”, whose body was discovered on February 27, 2020

McLennon had been on the run for one month.
The arrest was made by members of the Major Crime Unit at Laing Avenue, Georgetown on Wednesday morning. Police did not find any illegal items on the wanted man when he was arrested.
McLennon is suspected to be the mastermind in the businessman’s murder, which was initially planned as a robbery.
Jhonny’s body was discovered in a yard where a building was under construction, some 400 metres from his home. His feet were bound together with a shoelace. The sweater he had been wearing before was found a few feet away from the body.
A pair of scissors and a piece of wood were also found near the body, which bore a wound to the back, bruises to one hand while the head and face appeared swollen.
When Police went to Jhonny’s home, they found the front door unlocked and the inside of the house ransacked. A safe, along with other items, had been reportedly removed from the building. Investigators subsequently received information about the whereabouts of the safe, which contained an undisclosed sum of cash.
The safe was subsequently recovered and approximately $2 million in cash was found.
Four men were arrested, but McLennon disappeared.
The four – Navendra Narine, Gopaul Ramgobin, Satram Khuslay and Bilal Mc Lennon – were jointly charged with murder.
It is believed that McLennon had taken close to $15 million based on the alleged confession of his accomplices.
He is expected to be placed before the court of law soon.
Meanwhile, the other four suspects are expected to return to the Albion Magistrate’s Court next Friday.
