The Guyana Police Force will also use all legal avenues available to ensure that the other two (2) suspects are extradited to Guyana to answer to the allegations in relation to the death of the deceased.
I wish to conclude by once again recognising each and every investigator involved in this matter since it’s their hard work, perseverance and diligence that ultimately led to the breakthrough in solving this case and locating the remains of the deceased.”
