The police late last week arrested a deportee who is suspected to be the prime suspect in the murder of Levan Chanderpaul, whose body was found buried in the Number 68 Village backdam seven months ago.
Crime Chief Wendell Blanhum told Stabroek News yesterday afternoon that the police had arrested the suspect, who has been identified as Munilall Sarjoo called “Baby” or “Long hair”, 47, a livestock farmer of Number 67 Village, Corentyne, Berbice last Thursday in Berbice.
The suspect’s initial detention period had expired and the High Court granted the police more time to keep him.
