Cops get more time to question suspects in bread vendor’s murder

As police continue their probe into the one-week old murder of Sophia bread vendor Andre Alexander, the High Court yesterday granted them more time to question the two suspects who were arrested.

Commander of ‘C’ Division Kevin Adonis told Stabroek News yesterday that the police were granted a 72-hour extension after making an application to the High Court.

The two suspects, a soldier and a man who was allegedly seen in his company before the crime was committed, were arrested earlier this week. A hunt is continuing for the alleged triggerman.
