Police issue wanted bulletin for duo in Nassano Landing double murder

The Guyana Police Force (GPF) has issued wanted bulletins for two men for questioning in connection with a double homicide on Christmas Eve Day at Nassano Landing, North West District (NWD), Region One (Barima-Waini).
Kurtland Damon called “Cartoe” or “Bullet” and Thomas Kyte also known as “Taco” are wanted for the murders committed on 29-year-old Sherwin Goddette, a gold miner of Dredge Creek, Upper Pomeroon, and Shawn France, 21, of Akawini Creek, Pomeroon.
Investigators stated that the dead men were relatives.
Based on reports received, at about 08:00h on December 23, 2021, the dredge owner reportedly closed off the operation for the Christmas holidays and left for Port Kaituma, NWD, leaving his workers at the worksite.

Wanted: Thomas Kyte and Kurtland Damon

The following day at about 11:00h, Goddette, France, and three other employees left their camps and went to the landing where they began to consume alcohol.
However, at about 22:30h, Police said France was engaged in a heated argument with the bartender over a bottle of champagne. France reportedly became annoyed and threw the bottle to the ground, thus resulting in a scuffle among the persons at the drinking spot.
During the scuffle, France armed himself with a pair of scissors and attacked those present. As he was about to attack a 35-year-old gold miner, he was stopped in his tracks when the man whipped out his licensed firearm and discharged a single round in the air.
Police said that the fighting ceased immediately.
Nevertheless, during the brawl, Devor Stohl sustained a cut to his abdomen which caused his intestines to protrude. In retaliation, Stohl’s son, who is one of the wanted men, and his accomplice Kyte attacked the men as they were making their way back to their camp.
Hosea Sandy, one of the victims, was stabbed to his back and left arm, while Goddette and France were fatally stabbed.
On Christmas day at about 12:00h Stohl was air-dashed to the Georgetown Public Hospital where he remains a patient. A report was later made at the Port Kaituma Police Station.
Ranks then visited the area and observed the bodies of Goddette and France lying motionlessly, face up about 15 feet apart. France was at the time shirtless and both bodies were in an advanced state of decomposition.
The Police confirmed that the ranks later buried the bodies and marked the general location and direction of the graves, with a view of exhumation at a later date. Several persons were questioned in the vicinity of the crime scene and statements were taken.
The two suspects remain on the run, hence the wanted bulletins for their arrest. Anyone with information that will lead to the whereabouts of the two suspects is asked to contact the Police on telephone numbers 226-6978, 225-8196, 265-2233, 265-2222, 227-1149 or the nearest Police station.
This is the second stabbing incident that occurred in the area in a matter of days. Prior to this, a 24-year-old man had to be air-dashed to Georgetown after he was stabbed about his abdomen.
Glenroy Williams had to be medevacked from Port Kaituma, NWD, Region One (Barima-Waini), after he sustained a massive laceration/stab wound about the abdomen, resulting in the protrusion of his intestines.
The Police Force has not yet disclosed how Williams sustained the injury.
