Murder suspect wanted in Guyana nabbed in Suriname

The long-pursued robbery-murder suspect, Carlos Evans, who has been wanted in Guyana since 2020 for alleged murder, has been apprehended in Suriname. The arrest was carried out on Saturday by officers of the Regional Assistance Team Paramaribo, Suriname.
Carlos’s brother, Medellin Evans, was also a prime suspect in a robbery case pursued by the Guyana Police Force (GPF). However, he met his demise last September after being fatally stabbed in front of a nightclub on Eugene Van Gesselstraat in Suriname.
Last week, the 31-year-old suspect made headlines once again when he allegedly assaulted a man by striking him in the face with a handgun, according to Suriname authorities. This incident sparked detailed investigations, with the Directorate of National Security (DNV) collaborating closely with the Surinamese Police.
Their combined efforts paid off, leading to the identification of Carlos’s location in Combe. The authorities promptly arrested him and subsequently transferred him to the Police station for further legal proceedings.
During the arrest, law enforcement made a significant discovery – a handgun loaded with sharp cartridges was found and confiscated as evidence.
Carlos and his late brother Medellin are fugitives from Guyana, and Police have been pursuing them for their involvement in multiple robbery cases since 2020.
They are also linked to the murder of a well-respected Guyanese businessman, Tony Bisnauth. Bisnauth lost his life on his 78th birthday while celebrating outside his company, Tanjo Snackette, at Rosignol Stelling Road, West Coast Berbice, Region Five, with his wife Sunita Khanai.
At the time of the incident, he was celebrating his birthday with close relatives and friends outside the snackette when three men, armed with two guns and a cutlass, pounced on them and demanded cash and valuables.
Bisnauth did not comply with the bandits, and he was shot in the head. Another victim was shot in the back and had to undergo surgery to remove the bullet, while a third victim was shot twice. The bandits managed to escape with cell phones, money, and jewellery from those who were at the birthday hang.
Since the incident, the Evans brothers managed to evade local law enforcement and took refuge in Suriname. However, their criminal activities seem to have caught up with them as Carlos now faces legal consequences in Suriname for his actions there.
Investigations are ongoing. (G9)
