Narine was handed over to the Guyana Police Force at Moleson Creek by the Suriname authorities. Commander of ‘B’ Division, Paul Langevine, confirmed that the man who had previously escaped the New Amsterdam Prison in 2011 is currently incarcerated. The commander told Stabroek News that there is no word as it relates to the man facing charges here for escaping prison or any other charges.
