Chepille Layne

While police continue to search for two men suspected to be responsible for the attack in a Port Mourant rice field that left two men dead and others injured, the widow of one of the victims said she has lost all faith in law enforcement to deliver justice.

Chepille Layne, the father of two of Beverley Crawford’s children was gunned down in the Port Mourant Backlands in January, along with Krishnaraj Jagdeo, called “Chris,” in what police have described as a revenge attack. Injured in the shooting were Zameel Abrahim, 24, of Tain, Corentyne; David Harpaul, 37, of Rose Hall, Coren-tyne, and Clement Griffith, 48, of Port Mourant. Abrahim was said to have been the most critical. It was only last month that he was removed from the High Dependency Unit of the Georgetown Hospital and transferred to the New Amsterdam Hospital.

Griffith, of Ankerville, Port Mourant had told this newspaper that he and the others left the Follow-up Co-op around 3 pm by
