Dead: Sabutaro Singh called “Mark Singh”
“Investigators have managed to identify the vehicle (car) used by the suspect. This is the getaway car that was used by the suspect who stabbed Sabutaro Singh on Regent Street,” Police said on Saturday.
An image of the motor car was released to the media but the number plate was not clear.
Singh, a carpenter, and vendor of Lot 529 Herstelling, East Bank Demerara (EBD), was stabbed to the neck on the pavement of Regent Street, Georgetown, at about 18:00h last Wednesday.
The now dead man was a suspect in the $400 million gold heist. He was jointly charged with 44-year-old Bisram Paul. It is alleged that between December 2021 and January 2022, in the company of others, Singh stole 1000 ounces of raw gold, worth $400 million, from a businesswoman of Mahaica, East Coast Demerara. Singh was out on bail.
The getaway car
According to the information received, the man was selling when someone walked up to him and stabbed him in his neck. Singh immediately buckled, fell to the ground, bled out, and was later pronounced dead.
Apart from the fatal stabbing, Police said on November 19, 2022, Singh was shot in his buttocks by an unidentifiable male. An investigation is currently ongoing. (G9)
