Murder suspect nabbed with pistol, cannabis in Linden

Lennox Leon Estwick, who was wanted for questioning in connection with the brutal killing of businessman Deon Stoll in front of El Dorado Trading on Da Silva Street, Kitty in October last year, was nabbed on Thursday morning during an intelligence-led operation by the Police.

Based on reports received, Police ranks acted on information gathered and swooped down on a house at Lover’s Lane, South Amelia’s Ward, Linden around 00:45h on the day in question.

A search was conducted on the premises during which an unlicensed pistol, four live rounds of ammunition and 10 grams of suspected

cannabis were unearthed. The 23-year-old suspect and his brother were taken into Police custody.
It was reported that Stoll was shot dead after two masked gunmen attempted to rob him, but the now dead Essequibo businessman returned fire, hitting one of the gunmen.
A security guard attached to the El Dorado Trading company was also shot during the shootout.
Stoll, also known as “Mow”, hailed from Charity, Essequibo Coast, Region Two (Pomeroon-Supenaam), but was said to also have resided in Bel Air, Georgetown.
Reports are that on October 14, 2019, Stoll was driven by bodyguard Clayton Powley in motor car PPP 6727 when a white Toyota motor car with tinted windows stopped across the road from the business place moments after he arrived at that location.
Two gunmen, whose faces were mostly concealed by rags/handkerchiefs, ran out of the vehicle and rushed towards Stoll’s car.
One gunman opened the door at the driver’s side and a scuffle began between him and Powley, who soon exited the vehicle to better defend himself. Powley received a gunshot wound to his arm in the process while his assailant rushed back to the waiting white Toyota.
At the time this was happening, the other gunman had rushed to the door of the front passenger seat, where Stoll was sitting, and opened it before attempting to snatch something from the businessman. Stoll appeared to have been putting up a fight from inside of the vehicle but was shot to his stomach. His shooter then ran away, but Stoll also exited the car with his handgun, firing shots at the fleeing gunman.
The gunman returned fire while trying to get back to the white Toyota car, falling to the ground twice in the process, before managing to rush back into his vehicle. The white Toyota then quickly sped away from the scene as the gunmen made good their escape.
Police later issued a wanted bulletin for Delon “Demon” Morgan and Lennox Leon Estwick. Morgan was arrested at a Police roadblock at Cove and John, East Coast Demerara (ECD) just over one week later.
