This was confirmed by Crime Chief Wendell Blanhum, who told Stabroek News that the other two persons in custody include a relative of Dennison’s ex-girlfriend.

The police had recently revealed their interest in questioning Dennison’s ex-girlfriend, who was suspected to have had useful information about the attack.

The trio was arrested yesterday.

Dennison, a Belizean, was shot twice last Thursday around 9 pm outside his Cummings Lodge, East Coast Demerara residence. He remained a patient in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH) up to late yesterday afternoon.

Dennison had just dropped off his girlfriend, who is also a student of UG, when the attack occurred.
