Omesh ‘Radesh’ Thakurdin of No 72 Village, Corentyne, a suspect in the murder of US Army doctor, Captain Max Kungel, 42, was discovered hanging in the lock-ups at the No 51 Police Station around 5:20 am yesterday.
Two other suspects are still in custody. Police said in a release that Thakurdin, who works in the field lab at the Skeldon Estate, was taken into custody at about 8:50 pm on Monday and during checks of his cell, “in which he was the only prisoner,” was found hanging by his shirt from the grill work.
He was expected to be married next Monday but instead relatives have to plan for his funeral.
