Wanted bulletin issued for suspect in miner’s murder

A wanted bulletin was issued by the Police for Eliuge Allicock, a 26-year-old miner hailing from Hubu, Parika, East Bank Essequibo, and also associated with Issano Landing, Middle Mazaruni, Region Seven (Cuyuni-Mazaruni).
Allicock is being sought in connection with the murder of Calvin Nelson, a 39-year-old miner of Bartica. The incident occurred on Saturday around 02:30h, at Honey Camp Backdam, Middle Mazaruni River.

Police reports indicate that after the murder, a 22-year-old female cook from Tasserene village, Middle Mazaruni River, was contacted regarding the incident. She revealed that she is currently in an intimate relationship with the suspect, Allicock.
She informed the Police that she had a prior relationship with the deceased, Calvin Nelson. According to her account, on Friday, she and Allicock ventured to Honey Camp Landing, where they consumed alcoholic beverages and became intoxicated.
The drinking continued when they visited Clive Smith’s Shop around 01:00h on Saturday. It was at this point that Nelson approached her, sparking a conversation that triggered Allicock’s agitation. The situation escalated into a physical altercation when Allicock grabbed and assaulted the female.

Nelson intervened, leading to a scuffle between him and Allicock. During the confrontation, Allicock drew a knife and inflicted two stabs on Nelson.
Following the altercation, Nelson sought refuge at Michael Bacchus’ shop, which is located a short distance away. There, he recounted the distressing events to Neville Critchlow, a 65-year-old construction worker.
Critchlow accompanied Nelson in a vehicle en route to the Issano Health Post. However, Nelson was later pronounced dead on arrival.
Investigations are ongoing. (G9)
