Wanted man nabbed for killing missing Kuru Kururu man
A 30-year-old suspect, who had managed to avert the Police for more than two months, was arrested on Friday morning at Kuru Kuru, Linden-Soesdyke Highway.
This was confirmed to this publication on Saturday by a senior official within the Guyana Police Force (GPF).
Leon Waddle, also called “Mack” is being accused of murdering Kuru Kururu resident, Answar Stoll.
Based on information received, Waddle was found sometime about 05:00h on Friday, hiding in a fowl pen in front of his relatives’ Kuru Kuru home.
The man was wanted by Police for questioning in relation to the murder of Stoll, who has been missing since November 15, 2020.
Following Stoll’s disappearance, his family members turned up at his Kuru Kururu home in December 2020 with Police ranks and found bloodstains on the wall.
His house was also ransacked and his documents and other personal belongings were missing.
Police had previously stated that after visiting the man’s home, they were working on the theory that the man might have been murdered.
However, the man’s family was told by investigators that they cannot investigate his death unless they find his body.
Answar lived alone about nine miles from the highway and did not work. He was reportedly supported by his mother and other family members. Reports are that he has been living in the Kuru Kuru area for the past 20 years.
