By now, almost everyone might have heard the story that allegedly played out last evening at Marriot Hotel in Georgetown, Guyana, South America. For those of you who haven’t, let me recap. A young man took a young lady out to dinner. He ordered, and they both ate, food and wine totaling a cost of about $56,000 GYD. At some point, the young man called a taxi and ditched the young woman. However, he sent the taxi driver back to uplift a second round of take-away order. The taxi driver was asked about the bill. When he said he didn’t know about it, he was held responsible and obligated to pay. By that time, the young man probably fled the scene with another taxi or on foot.
Both men were interviewed by ranks of the Grove Police station and CID during which it was suspected their report was false in nature. As a result, a search was carried out on their respective haversacks and during so, the aforementioned items which they claimed they were robbed of were found therein.
They were both told of the offence committed, cautioned, arrested and placed into custody, and items lodged.

A teacher attached to the Skeldon High School in Region 6 alleges that he was assaulted by one Mr. Linden Murray after he disputed scores during the sporting event. The teacher further alleges that police officers were grossly inefficient in deterring the physical attack. If this is true, we must ask: what are police officers being paid for. Can we allow our country to spiral down such a troubling path?

In the midst of the ongoing Selfie Boss saga and whether he’s innocent or not, we need to keep one point in focus: the death of a young man under questionable circumstances. We must not forget that this is a precious human life, the loss of which must be justified at all cost if possible.

Famed Georgetown businessman and philanthropist, Azzrudin Mohamed, has issued a statement today, 17th of August, 2022, asserting that he and his family are being framed by a business competitor.

Senior Detective, Dion Bascom, who made a scathing commentary implicating Mohamed’s Enterprise and the Guyana Police Force in the shooting death of Ricardo Fagundes, has said through his lawyer, Nigel Hughes, that he is holding his ground and will not offer any apology to Mohamed’s Enterprise or well known businessman and philanthropist, Azzrudin Mohamed.
