Mahaica: Police arrests a man wanted for murder of stepson

After receiving a piece of information and after hearing and watching a display publication of a wanted bulletin, police officials in Regional Division 4C went to an accommodation at Helene #1, Mahaica, where murder suspect Shawn Bobb was nabbed.

After the police reached the spot at 19:20 hours yesterday, the suspect was seen escaping from the site by jumping through a glass window, and he was dressed as a female, complete with makeup and a wig on his head.

But, after information released by the police stated that, “He was captured and arrested, and he is currently under police guard at the GPHC where he was taken for medical concerns.”

The suspect has been identified as Bobb, a labourer of East La Penitence Squatting Area, who was wanted in the case for the alleged murder of a 19-year-old Isaiah Edwards, who was stabbed on the January 26 after intervening in an altercation between his mother and the suspect, his stepfather. The teen later succumbed to the injuries sustained after being stabbed a day later.
