Two accused of killing gold miner, test positive for COVID19

According to a source, two persons who are on remand for allegedly killing gold miner, Deon ‘Mow’ Stoll in 2019 tested positive for the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), putting a halt to (PI) into Stoll’s murder until the two accused fully recover. Charged with the murder and currently on remand are Shane “Demon” Morgan called ‘Delon Morgan’, Roberto Sankar, Wayne St. Hill and Steve Rollox. Our source could not confirm exactly which two of the four had tested positive. Odessa St. Hill called ‘Baby’, Dr. Alanzo De Santos, Duncan Vanvield called ‘Blackboy’ and Keith McKenzie were charged with being accessories after the fact.

The incident took place on October 14, 2019, at Da

Silva Street, Newtown in the course or furtherance of a robbery. The brazen attack on Stoll occurred on the morning of October 14, 2019, shortly after 10:00 hrs in front of El Dorado Trading, a gold dealer. Security videos showed a Toyota 212, a vehicle in which Stoll was seated, pulling into the driveway of El Dorado. Another car following closely behind pulled up and two men, masked, ran out. They converged on Stoll’s car, one to the passenger side where the businessman was seated and the other to the driver’s side.

The driver was seen getting out the car and wrestling with one of the masked men. On the other side, Stoll and the other bandit started to shoot at each other. The gunman was seen falling twice while retreating to the getaway car. Both he and the other bandit abandoned their attempts. The video showed the wounded Stoll clutching his side.

Police later impounded the alleged getaway car at Peter’s Hall, East Bank Demerara. The alleged getaway driver, Rollox, was reportedly arrested while gambling at the Princess Casino, Providence. The police had issued a wanted bulletin for Morgan, and he was later captured at a roadblock along with McKenzie at Cove and John, East Coast of Demerara. He was believed to have been making a dash for neighbouring Suriname. (Kaieteur News)
