Two of the persons detained here for the vicious April 27th attack on more than a dozen fishermen in Suriname waters were yesterday released on $100, 000 station bail each while the third will most likely be set free on Monday.
Commander of `B’ Division, Lyndon Alves made these disclosures when contacted by Stabroek News yesterday. He explained that the extension of time given to keep the duo, who are fishermen in detention, ended yesterday. This newspaper was later told that the men were unable to meet the bail amount and as such were still at the police station where there were held. It would appear that the police may be forced to release the men without the lodging of the bail since there is nothing to hold them on.
Alves said that the third person, who is the brother of murdered Guyanese businessman, Somnath Manohar and a boatowner will however remain in custody until Monday. “We have until then (Monday) with him to see what we can get”, the Commander said. The trio was arrested separately late last week.
