Roland Kanhai

The suspect in the murder of gold miner Roland Kanhai, who was believed to have been fatally beaten in a robbery last week, has been arrested and police say he has since confessed to the crime.

A police source told Sunday Stabroek that the 26-year-old pork-knocker, of Agricola, East Bank Demerara, was arrested on Friday at Mahdia, Region Eight.

The source said that the suspect has since provided investigators with a statement in which he confessed to the crime.
