-Arokium’s attorney tells Top Cop
The attorney representing Leonard Arokium, the Lindo Creek mining camp owner, has written to acting Police Commissioner Henry Greene saying he has received credible and verifiable information that the mobile phone of one of the men killed at the camp continues to be in active use.
Dax Arokium
In the letter which this newspaper has seen, attorney at law Nigel Hughes said information has revealed that the mobile phone owned by Dax Arokium, which he had in his possession at the time of the June murders, has been in active use since the Lindo Creek crime scene ceased to be secured by the joint services.
Further, Hughes told Greene that independent investigations have also revealed that the use of the mobile phone continued even after Rondell `Fineman’ Rawlins was killed last month. Rawlins had been accused of masterminding the slaughter of the eight men.
Hughes said he was instructed to alert the commissioner of the development as this may prove to be of “some use in continued investigations into the murders.” This newspaper has since learnt that many of the calls made from the mobile phone have been traced to several persons and homes in Linden.
If confirmed the user of the phone could have critical information on what happened at Camp Lindo. The persons to whom the calls were made would also be important.
Leonard Arokium has argued that the killings could not have been done by `Fineman’ and he has said he believes that elements of the joint services were behind the killings.
Arokium stumbled on what appeared to be the burnt remains of his eight workers which included his son and brother Dax and Cecil Arokium. Police from the outset had blamed the killings on `Fineman’ and his gang but Arokium has argued that it would defy all logic for `Fineman’ and his men to have done it if indeed they were the ones who had fled from Christmas Falls on June 6.
If they had fled Christmas Falls they would have retreated across the Berbice River. To execute the Lindo Creek massacre they would have had to re-cross the Berbice River – something that would have posed logistical challenges – travel 10 miles and moreover they would have had to sweep past police and army units who had swarmed the area in the aftermath of June 6 to get to the Lindo Creek camp.
Arokium, convinced that the Joint Services were behind the Lindo massacre, has argued that the Joint Services knew where his camp was as they had shared supplies with some of his workers before, including his son, Dax.
The police have since denied the essence of some of the conversations that Arokium had said he had about this and were willing to present a witness who would substantiate their version. The police said in a press release “The guards at the UNAMCO gate and the camp attendant at No.69 mining camp were contacted and they have all denied speaking to Mr Arokium, much less telling him any of the stories he related”. No witness has since been presented by the police even though they have said that they have one which they have referred to as an eyewitness/suspect. This was some weeks back but the person has not been presented to the public or charged.
The police have since been very tightlipped on their investigations, with only the assurance that they were continuing. However they have since said that ballistic tests link the weapons found in the possession of Rawlins and Jermaine `Skinny’ Charles, when they were shot and killed at Kuru Kururu on the Linden/ Soesdyke Highway, to the massacres at Lindo Creek, Lusignan and Bartica and several other murders.
Leonard Arokium should take some blame for these miners death. He should have pulled his men out as soon as he heard what had happen in Christmas falls.
Or travel to the area and inform the Joint Forces that his men was close to the and we wanted to get them out.
He is trying play the blame game. I know it is hard for him to admit that because of him these men lost their lives.
if he knows the phone is in use, all he has to do is called the #and ask for some info. who am i speaking with etc, this will leave proof on his phone records.
he chooses to go public with out trying to gather more evidence, or is he bent on denial.
What a tangled web we weave.Now its a positive spin that its more to be revealed in the future.Mr Arokium was never in a doubt as to who was involved and so far the DNA is yet to say who is who.
TIME HAS COME TODAY.
REMEMBER DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES
It good to see that Mr Arokium has quickly overcome his emotional approach.
Or is it that he has now recoginised other possibilities leading to contacting the police? Incidentally, the stolen phone could easily have been sold after the typical cold blooded killings and attempted cremation.
After all, accumulation of funds were of equal importance as the agenda of economic and social destruction by those who carried it out.
Point is Deo, whether the phone was sold or not, whoever killed those miners had foremost possession of it after the rightful owner – Dax Arokium.
Given the JS version of the events when the men fled Christmas Falls some of them were killed. We don’t know at what point Skinny teamed up with Fineman so it could have been more than two killers at Lindo Creek.
Do you believe that before they died Fineman or Skinny give/sold the phone to someone living in Linden? That makes absolutely no sense. In the first instance they would be very dumb to keep that particular phone and in the other instance, they needed to communicate with their partners in crime.
Whichever way you look at it, it just doesn’t make sense!!! Just think!, think!
suddenly, everybody thinks guyana’s not the hell hole it was, a couple men are dead, thats it. Guyana has more than enough criminals to replace them and the police are still more corrupt than anything. we’ll never really know what happened there on that night.
I am not on any side but we have to remember that ‘Fineman’ lead a gang of criminals – may be the phone is being used by his former follower/s or who ever did murder those men.
It seems also that Guyana over night has become high-tec to figure out where a call is being made from on (that) mobile to figure out that it’s made from a home/s in Linden – unless it’s wired/lined telephone.
Why wasn’t it figured out then where ‘Fineman’ was when he used to call the Police HQ when his girl friend was kidnapped?
Guy marco rubbish the man has lost a son brother and others .its not fineman and no gang ,the police and the army and maybe other minners is responsiable and there nothing more to it
Only a matter of time and Leonard Arokium wil be singing like sparrow…He said after the killings “there was no economic activity going on at his campsite “He should tell the press what those men were doing there…Are we to believe those men were having a family picnic or just a bunch of men having lunch sitting aroundshooting crap.He dont trust police too….Mind you he already said unsavory men were enquiring out about him too ….
Maybe the cell phone was calling to a land line phone.
god never sleep,s
