Ricardo Rodrigues

-lawyer seeks release through High Court

Ricardo Rodrigues, an associate of convicted drug lord Roger Khan wanted in connection with the recent Lethem arms bust, yesterday turned himself over to police, but his lawyer has moved to the High Court for his release after they detained him.

As a result, acting Chief Justice Ian Chang has given the police up to 11 am today to show cause why Rodrigues should not be released.

Police issued wanted bulletins for Rodrigues, called ‘Fatman’, and his cousin Clive King, called ‘Bora’ on Monday, seeking to question them in relation to the discovery of arms and ammunition at Tabatinga, Lethem,
