Third suspect in the murder of a former priest arrested in Mahdia
Kaieteur News – The third suspect wanted for Guyana Police (GPF) in connection with the murder of former Anglican priest George Chuck-A-Sang was arrested Monday in Mahdia, Region Eight.
Dying: George Chuck-A-Sang.
Back in February, police had issued a bulletin he wanted for 21-year-old Orlando Orin Ormando Richards of Gibraltar Road, Corentyne, Berbice after receiving details of his involvement in the murder.
Arrested: Orlando Richards.
His arrest was confirmed by the Chief of Crime, Wendell Blanhum, who advised that Richards was being held at the Mahdia Police Station and was cooperating with the investigation.
Kaieteur News has reported that the murdered former priest was found at his home on Dec. 21, 2020. Chuck-A-Sang’s partially decomposed body was found with multiple stab wounds by his daughter, Renata Chuck-A- Sang and the current priest, Monsell Alves.
He was found sometime around 15:00 hours at his two-storey concrete house located on Vlissengen Road, Lodge, Georgetown. According to police reports, the deceased’s daughter reported to the police that, after not hearing from her father for some time, she was worried and decided to check on him. The woman reported that Alves was in the company of her father’s residence and there they made the horrific discovery.
In February, two people, 45-year-old Rawle McPherson and 43-year-old Mohanie Mohabir, who were regular visitors to the former priest were detained in prison for killing him.
