The Guyana Police Force is seeking the assistance of the general public to locate a West Bank Demerara
Wanted: Anthony Jhaggroo
(WBD) murder suspect, who escaped from lawful custody two weeks ago.
Wanted is 20-year-old Anthony Jhaggroo of Lot 35 Goed-Intent, WBD. He was held in connection with the murder of 31-year-old mechanic, Yogeshwar Shivcharran, who was beaten at Bell West, WBD, earlier this month and who succumbed to his injuries six days after the incident occurred.
However, while in custody at the La Grange Police Station on July 13, Jhaggroo escaped during a power outage in Region Three.
The suspect supposedly escaped through a gap in the wall of the holding area of the Police Station, despite reports of two Police ranks being on duty at the time.
According to reports, the Bell West mechanic was beaten by a group of drunken neighbours. Guyana Times understands that Shivcharran suffered regular seizures and in a mental episode, he removed his clothing and approached his neighbours, who were consuming alcohol next door.
These neighbours reportedly pelted him with beer bottles before beating him about his head and body.
The Police are asking anyone with information that may lead to the arrest of Anthony Jhaggroo to contact the Police on telephone numbers 225-6411, 225-2227, 225-8196, 268-2343, 268-2298, 268-2222, 911 or the nearest Police station. All information will be treated with strict confidence.
