Jacqueline Bobb, the mother of Nicolas Perion Bobb, who was killed in April 2019, has vented her frustration at the slothfulness of the Guyana Police Force in dealing with her son’s case.
Dead: Nicholas Bobb
The 32-year-old man was murdered at Kuribrong Trail, Potaro River.
It was reported that Bobb was employed as a driver and on April 21 last, he and his boss, Emanuel Jeffery, were shuttling dredging equipment when they observed a green truck proceeding in the opposite direction at a slow rate.
As such, Bobb stopped his vehicle on the left side of the trail for the truck to pass. Two loud explosions were subsequently heard, thus causing Jeffrey to take cover. Jeffrey said he heard a strange voice which ordered him to jump into the truck; he complied and entered the tray of the lorry where he saw about eight other men.
He further told Police ranks that he managed to escape by jumping off the moving truck. He made his way back to the area where Bobb had stopped, only to find him dead.
A bullet wound was seen over the right-side chest.
During an interview with Guyana Times the grieving mother stated that she is frustrated.
“Nothing them ain’t doing because pure lies from the time the story happened to now is pure lies because number one, the first time they said the file gone to DPP and I get the woman from the Mining Association and the lady write the DPP and find out and when we write the DPP and the DPP replied, the DPP said the file was there since when my son dead in April and them said the file go in May and it never returned.”
She added that her family has been “pushed around” by the police every time they attempt to bring closure into her son’s death. She believes that her son’s boss was responsible for his demise.
After not getting justice, she reportedly made a post on social media about the incident but she was served with a lawyer’s letter from the man’s attorney refraining her from making any comments.
The police had finally issued a wanted bulletin for Farouk Khan for questioning into the murder of Bobb. He was arrested but was subsequently released.
“I reach with Commissioner three times and all three times he tell me he is calling up the Commanders. I had to be begging for them to put out bulletin and then we went to the Crime Chief and the Crime Chief say he got these two people hay Fred Khan they [call him] Pak Persaud but he ain’t really showing me but he just say that however the man that was with my son how he got so much paper report for the man, but is what the man say because when they get the man them said the man give contradicting story.”
The heartbroken mother is contending that the Police have been giving her contradicting stories as it relates to her son’s case.
“When I ask back the Commissioner if you can please move the case from Bartica and put it to Major Crime so they can look into it, he said okay I am going to move it now the day he told me that so when we went to the Crime Chief he had the file on his table and he was telling me it going go down to cold case me ain’t know the case in cold yet and it going down to cold case and they would look and see and whatever.”
The woman is calling on someone to intervene as her son’s first death anniversary is approaching.
“Just now in couple months is going to be a year since my son death and not a soul has been charged.”
This newspaper made several attempts to reach to the Divisional Commander and other authories which proved futile. (Shemar Alleyne)
