The police are yet to apprehend a second suspect wanted in connection with the murder of Roy Ross, who was found dead on Easter Monday.

Last week Thursday, 23-year-old Ewert Calistro, who police allege confessed to the crime, was remanded to prison after he was charged with the murder of Ross.

However, acting Regional Division 4 (B) Commander Mahendra Sewarnarine, when contacted, stated that while the force has received information concerning the whereabouts of the second suspect, checks were made but did not yield success.

Twenty-four year-old Ross of Swan Village, Kuru Kururu, Soesdyke-Linden Highway, is believed to have been killed sometime between 11pm on Easter Sunday and 6am on Easter Monday.

A family member, who asked not to be named, previously stated that a neighbour of the deceased observed that a door of Ross’s house was open when he arrived on Sunday night. According to the family member, the neighbour stated that the door was still open on Monday morning, which led to him investigating and he discovered Ross lying motionless on the floor in his home. He then raised an alarm.

The family member added that another occupant of the same neighbour’s home stated that she heard sounds coming from Ross’ home on Sunday night but disregarded it as a fight between Ross and his wife.

The woman said she later saw two persons fully clothed in black exiting the deceased’s yard and heading towards the bushes across from his house.

Nothing was reported missing from the home.
