Wife, other suspects released from custody

Pomeroon execution

The three persons who were held in connection with the alleged execution of two Pomeroon farmers have been released following advice from the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP).
This was revealed by “G” Division Police, who said the wife of one of the deceased and two other suspects were all released, as investigators are now following new leads.
Recent autopsies conducted on the dead farmers — Ambrose Baharally, called “Jadge,” 28, of Grant Stelling Hope, and 23-year-old Martin Goddete of Friendship Canal, Lower Pomeroon River — determined that the men died as a result of gunshot injuries.
The two men were shot to their heads and killed reportedly by men who were said to be imbibing with them earlier this month.
According to information, the incident occurred at about 15:30h.
Information reaching Guyana Times revealed that the two suspects had, earlier in the day, made contact with Baharally and Goddete, indicating that they were going to visit them during the day.
The suspects reportedly visited the two now dead men at about 15:00h, and this time they were armed.
Baharally’s widow, Cilicia Williams, told this publication that Goddete had visited their home at about 09:30h, and after some time, her husband and Goddete began to drink “High Wine” on a culvert by the river.
She disclosed to Police that at about 15:10h on Sunday last, she saw the suspects drive up in a boat, and they subsequently shook the farmers’ hands.
She said the group of men were having a conversation and were in high spirits when she left the men and went to tend to her children.
She said she soon heard two loud bangs, and then discovered her husband and his friend lying on the ground.
The gunmen reportedly headed east on the river immediately after committing the horrendous act.
Following investigations, a 9mm pistol and magazine; one .38 revolver; 16 live 12-gauge cartridges; 21 live .38 rounds; a quantity of .32 rounds; two 9mm spent shells and 51 and one-half grams of cannabis were found in close proximity to where the crime was committed.
Another witness to the crime allegedly gave Police a difference version of events than what was reported by the dead man’s wife.
That witness said two men, one called “Wood”, a farmer of Pomeroon, and Williams, Ambrose’s wife, were arrested for questioning in connection with the murders.
