One day after a wanted bulletin was issued for him in relation to the murder of La Penitence resident Deon Charles, nineteen-year-old Ezekiel Hawker was on Wednesday arrested in neighbouring Suriname and the police say that he has since confessed to the crime.
In a statement issued yesterday, Crime Chief Wendell Blanhum said that local police contacted their counterparts in Suriname after they learnt that Hawker had been held in the jurisdiction.
As a result of the collaborative efforts, Blanhum said officials in Suriname handed over Hawker to local police.
