Rose Hall store employee confesses to robbery which left security guard dead

Muneshprem Ayasammy Monien

After days of investigative work and grilling of eleven suspects, one person, an employee yesterday confessed to the police that he was involved in the robbery at the store in Rose Hall Town, during the course of which the security guard was murdered.

Stabroek News was told last evening that the lad in his confession had implicated another suspect, who is also in custody.

On Saturday, the battered body of Muneshprem Ayasammy Monien, also known as ‘Watchie’, 53, was discovered. He had sustained a slit on his throat, a chop wound on his head, two broken legs and other injuries about his body. Commander of B Division, Lyndon Alves, last evening confirmed the confession to this newspaper, as he explained that the police at the time were “tying up loose ends” since they had been given a “positive lead” from the suspect.
