The Guyana Police Force has received legal advice as it relates to instituting charges against the four persons in custody for the murder of Berbice teen, Haresh Singh.
The development comes days after the issuance of a wanted bulletin for a teen in connection with Singh’s murder.
The suspect turned himself in to law enforcement officers. He is a family member of slain teenager, Isaiah Henry, whose mutilated body and his cousin’s were found aback at a coconut farm at West Coast Berbice on September 6, 2020.
Following his surrender, three additional persons were arrested.
One of the suspects confessed that the teen was killed as revenge for Isiah’s murder. The suspect told investigators that after the Henry boys’ bodies were found, he was informed that Singh’s relatives were the ones behind Isiah’s death and as such, the suspect vowed to ensure that they pay.
The three suspects then went to Singh’s home and threatened family members – the 17-year-old was not at home at the time.
However, the three suspects went to No. 3 Village where they saw Singh. They stopped him and demanded that he disembarked his motorcycle, but Singh refused.
As a result, one of the suspects allegedly grabbed Singh and dealt him several blows to the head with a piece of wood.
Singh subsequently died and his motorcycle was set afire.
Singh, also known as ‘Raj’, of Lot 8, Number 3 Village, WCB was found with head injuries along the Number 2 backdam on September 9th, 2020 – three days after the severely mutilated remains of 16-year-old Isaiah and Joel Henry, 19, were found aback the Cotton Tree Village.
The post-mortem examination performed on the teen by Government Pathologist, Dr Nehaul Singh, revealed the cause of death to be brain hemorrhage and blunt trauma to the head, compounded by compression injuries to the neck.
