High voltage drama on UG road
Wanted man, other killed in shootout
By Kim Lucas and Samantha Alleyne
A man wanted in connection with several murders and another were killed in a shootout with police yesterday morning on the University of Guyana road and weapons and ammunition were found in the car they were travelling in.
Dead are Kwame Pindleton, for whom the police had issued several wanted bulletins, and Leroy Lowe of Buxton, East Coast Demerara. Lowe, a former member of the Guyana Police Force, was believed to be the driver of motorcar PEE 1951, in which, the police said, at least two other men were travelling.
It is believed that these men escaped the police dragnet, fled into the Beharry’s Nando Gardens compound at Turkeyen, then scaled a fence into the neighbouring Gafoor’s complex and into nearby bushes.
