The police know the identity of the man who pulled the trigger of the gun that shot Commissioner of Insurance Maria van Beek on April 15, according to Crime Chief Seelall Persaud.
“We have the identity of the shooter and we are looking for him…,” Persaud told Stabroek News yesterday. He said the police have searched the man’s abode and other places he is known to be around but he has not been found.
According to Persaud, the police were able to identify the suspect based on information they have received so far and they are doing all that needs to be done to apprehend the shooter.
This is the first real break in the shooting of the Judicial Manager of CLICO (Guyana), which shocked the nation. Police had arrested two men following the shooting, but when they were placed on identification parades they were not identified and the lawmen were forced to release them.
Meanwhile, Persaud confirmed that the police have been interviewing persons in the insurance industry as they continue the investigation into the shooting. He said they have received no new information that would warrant the arrest of any of those persons.
Stabroek News understands that the police interviewed those persons in an effort to find the motive behind the attempt on van Beek’s life. Sources yesterday said that even though the identity of the shooter is known the police are yet to determine the motive behind the shooting.
The gunman had approached van Beek’s car and fired a single shot just days after she had given a report to the High Court in her capacity as Judicial Manager of the troubled CLICO (Guyana). The bullet hit her in her chest and she had to be hospitalised for several days.
Van Beek secured an order from the court in February to place CLICO (Guyana) under judicial management prior to the winding up of the company; she was also appointed Judicial Manager. The decision came following the move by the Bahamas Supreme Court to order the liquidation of CLICO (Bahamas). CLICO (Bahamas) held 53% of the assets of CLICO (Guyana) at the end of 2007.
According to reports, van Beek was stuck in a long line of traffic at the junction of Lombard and Leopold streets during a heavy downpour when a gunman walked up to her vehicle and fired a single shot through the driver’s side window.
He jumped on a waiting motorcycle parked on Leopold Street and fled.
hhahahaha, what a trick, i thought they caught the man, hahahha….
Phew!!! Why is it that no Wanted Bulletin with the man’s pic being issued???
me too lol
They are just as badly off Sandhurst.These people are so misleading.
Sandhurst , it is crimes such as the attempted murder of Maria Van Beek that is destroying The Republic of Guyana , social , economical and politically .
The Prime Minister of Barbados and the bajans are not responsible for the sad state of affair , which now exist in your country .
“Where there is no vision , the people perish” .
Is this a ‘who the cap fit’ situation…political pressuer so we pick up a stereotype?
SN scared and the police too, the guy must be a top gun
exactly, me too! even though I knew it was too good to be true.

Don’t worry he won’t be too hard to find… Dem had Fineman’s photo and it took years to find him.
This is more nonsense like Jagdeo having the tape of buxton criminals cavorting with politicians which he still cant provide up to now and also the raja khan spy equipment being in the GOG control hehehehehe all laughable.
Do not think incorrectly. Act correctly.
Identifying the shooter and apprehending him is two different subject, now although knowing the shooter’s identity what was his motive who set him up to shoot that’s the question i’m interested in, no thug is not gonna just walk up to her and shoot her, some one else is pulling the strings here, so it’s important to get the puppeter and we will know the motives behind the shooting, if not gpf is just wasting it’s time.
These questions will NEVER be answered. We are still waiting on a lot of the puppet-masters to be ‘brought in alive’! Many cases have died after the perps were caught, oops, wiped out!!!
This is what I don’t get – If they know the identity of the shooter, why not make it public so as to restrict his ability to blend into society?
After all,everyone knows of the GPF’s ability to single handedly solve crimes, so why not make it easy on yourself GPF? Or why not deny your shooter his freedom?
Oops! I get it, it’s the element of surprise…….. you intend to sneak up on him right?…………. whatever!
I GUESS THAT THIS SUSPECT DOSE NOT HAVE A NAME
NOR DOES HE have a FACE… SN IS A BIG JOKE… Y NOT PUBLISH A PHOTO OF THIS KILLER!!! HOW DO U EXPECT TO GET PUBLIC HELP WITHOUT POSTINE HIS PICTURE… U PACK OF JOKERS!!!!!
I hope this evidence and identity are legitimate and they are not just looking for someone to hang to prove that they are doing their job. It’s been so long, the person of interest must be in Suriname by now.
All who believe that they know who their man is,put up your hands!!
I dont. They will find a lil good for nuttin boy, torture him mercilessly & pin the crime on him and the puppet masters walk free . Any bets??
I bettin yall a $1000 gy dollars. Dont say that aint money, atleast yall gonna get a coca cola to drink. what I say is going to happen.
