Murder suspect Lenroy Michael Forde alias ‘Biggie’, has confessed to the murder of Odingo Anthony Haywood who was shot dead on Wednes-day last at Drysdale Street, Charlestown, Georgetown.
Crime Chief Wendell Blanhum last night told Stabroek News that Forde was recently apprehended by police and during the course of questioning he admitted to committing the crime.
He has since guided police to a “bushy area” where he claimed he bought the murder wea-pon. Charges are likely to be laid against him soon.
Just a day after the murder of Haywood last week, police had issued a wanted bulletin for Forde.
According to the police, Forde was arrested around 5 pm on Friday while he was being transported in a boat to Devil’s Hole, Cuyuni-Mazaruni in Region Seven.
Twenty-five-year-old Haywood, was said to be on his way home when the shooting occurred.
Enquiries have revealed that the incident emanated from a dispute between two men over an alleged robbery committed by ‘Biggie’ on a victim who was known to the deceased.
