Seven men released on bail over murder of Dominican Republic miner

Seven of the ten men who were arrested in connection with the murder of a Dominican Republic miner, Pedro Pablo Rosario, in the Cuyuni have been released on bail by the police.

Crime Chief Paul Williams related yesterday that the men were released after they had been held for nearly a week. He noted that since the arrest of the men on Sunday last, police were granted two extensions to detain the men for investigations.

The crime chief further explained that police are yet to ascertain the quantity of gold the bandits escaped with. “They said the men went away with the mats we do not know how much gold it was,” he said.
