PPP praises CID for recent crime-solving successes

The opposition People’s Progressive Party (PPP) yesterday commended the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the Guyana Police Force for its recent successes in solving crimes and suggested that Crime Chief Wendell Blanhum be promoted.

In a press statement, the party did not commend the Guyana Police Force as a whole, but singled out CID for its successes.

The force has recently seen breakthroughs in quite a few high-profile cases, including murders. Only on Sunday, investigators recovered remains believed to have been those of Babita Sarjou, who has been missing since 2010. The remains were found behind her ex-husband’s home. He and another man are expected to be charged with murder.
