After managing to elude the police for two months, the police on Friday arrested the suspect in the murder of Kuru Kururu resident, Answar Stoll.
Crime Chief Wendell Blanhum this morning confirmed that Leon Waddel, called ‘Max’, 25, was arrested by ranks of the Major Crimes Unit around 5pm on Friday.
He was found hiding in a fowl pen in front of his relatives’ Kuru Kuru home.
It is suspected that Stoll, called ‘Red Man,’ 46, of Dadrima Savannah, Kuru Kururu, Linden/Soesdyke Highway, was murdered sometime between November 15 and November 16, 2020 at his home.
Relatives filed a missing person report with the police on December 14, 2020 after attempts to contact him proved futile and a search at his home uncovered signs of foul play.
Late last year, the Guyana Police Force issued a wanted bulletin for Waddel in relation to Stoll’s murder.
