The deaths of wanted men Rondell ‘Fineman’ Rawlins and Jermaine ‘Skinny’ Charles, who have been identified as the perpetrators of a number of heinous crimes, should contribute to the reduction of the tensions within the society, the PNCR said in a press release.

The press statement acknowledges the success of the joint services in the killing of wanted men as a significant blow to the criminal gangs in Guyana. Further the party stated the defeat of these leading criminals should open new opportunities to address the crime situation in Guyana.

The PNCR said it remained opposed to the practice of extra-judicial killings but made it clear that it was not referring to the deaths of the two men as such a killing.

The party believes that in the long run only the successful implementation of a comprehensive national security plan to eradicate the root causes of crime will provide Guyana with a security environment conducive to peace, stability and development.

A request was made in the press statement for the Jagdeo PPP/C Government to take the required actions to bring to justice the killers of Ronald Waddell, Donna Herod and Marcyn King and to work diligently to ascertain the whereabouts of the many persons who have mysteriously disappeared.

The PNCR also expressed its wishes to reaffirm its unequivocal support for the fight against crime in all its forms and in all quarters of the society.
