A suspect who was taken into custody for the murder of French Guiana-based Guyanese clothing vendor, Purcell Moore Jr, has admitted to the crime, acting Crime Chief Paul Williams said last night.

Williams told Stabroek News that during interrogation the suspect admitted to being in the company of others and committing the crime. He explained that the matter is still being treated as a robbery due to the evidence gathered.

Williams said that a chain that Moore had on was found next to his body. He added that they are still in pursuit of another suspect, Wayne Chester, 20, of Friendship, EBD and other individuals.
