Police to seek legal advice

‘C’ Division police will be sending the file on the investigation into the murder of Krishnachand Dabee, the pensioner whose lifeless body was found in his Annandale, East Coast Demerara (ECD) yard late last month, for legal advice today.

Commander of the Division, Calvin Brutus told Stabroek News yesterday that investigators have wrapped up their investigation and compiled a file, which will be sent for advice, which will determine the way forward with the case.

He noted that two arrested persons remain in police custody and one has since narrated a story to investigators. On Saturday, this newspaper reported one of the arrested persons had admitted to being at the crime scene.

The two suspects including a juvenile were arrested between Thursday night and Friday.

Brutus said the first arrested suspect was questioned and he reportedly admitted to being at the crime scene but denied killing Dabee. During interrogation, he reportedly led police to his accomplice, who was detained on Friday.

Stabroek News had reported that Dabee, 72, of Lot 149 Annandale Public Road, ECD was discovered dead at around 7pm on August 28th by his daughter, university lecturer Ramona Dabee, after several calls to him went unanswered.

There were injuries to his head and right eye and a room which he occupied was ransacked. An autopsy performed on his remains revealed that he died as a result of blunt trauma to the head and a fractured neck and spine.
