Kaieteur News understands that at least five suspects in at least four separate killings, one dating back as far as 2001, were rounded up over the past three days.
Among those detained is the suspect in the murder of La Parfait Harmonie taxi driver Dennis Narine.
Narine was shot dead on the morning of May 31 when he got up to investigate an attempted break-in at his house.
Investigators had suspected that Narine’s killer was known to him and were on the lookout for him.
Police say the suspect was apprehended at La Grange yesterday.
According to reports, the police on the West Coast of Demerara received information that a car with suspicious looking characters was seen circling in the La Grange area.
Ranks intercepted the vehicle and to their surprise, the murder suspect was one of the occupants. He was positively identified by a person who police say is a main witness in the matter.
The suspect’s arrest comes a few days after Errol Kesney called ‘Shortman’ was detained in New Amsterdam, Berbice for the 2011 murder of fireman Patrick Ivor Daly.
When Kesney was detained last Sunday morning, he had in his possession two grams of marijuana for which he was charged. Investigators recognised Kesney as one of the suspects in Daly’s killing and duly informed

him of the offence.
He told investigators that he had been living in Cayenne, although several sources claimed that he was frequently seen in New Amsterdam.
Although he was only fined $10,000 and ordered to do five weeks of community service, Kesney was kept in custody and subsequently transferred to Georgetown, where he will face the murder charge.
Police say he was positively identified yesterday by an eyewitness to the murder.
Daly, a 29-year-old firefighter of Lot 99 Esau Street, Land of Canaan, was doused with acid and then hacked to death by three men who had cornered him in a backyard toilet at his home.
He was chopped nine times with a cutlass and a machete while his reputed wife looked on helplessly. He collapsed and died from gaping wounds to his back and limbs. Police said that the ferocity of the attack left one of his legs partly severed.
Daly’s attackers had fled the scene, leaving a bloody machete near his mutilated body.
Police had arrested two men and a woman in connection with Daly’s murder.
One of the men, Curliegh Goodluck was charged with Daly’s murder but was eventually acquitted.
And also yesterday, police detained three suspects in the April 16 murder of popular businessman Farouk Ghanie Hamid.
The 56 year- old businessman who operated the Hamson’s General Store on Regent Street, was found lying in his yard at Nandy Park with stab wounds to the left side chest and under the chin.
The gruesome discovery was made by the victim’s reputed wife, who found the father of five lying next to the kennel where he kept his German Shepherd dog.
Police say that acting on information received they swooped down on the three suspects yesterday who are being interrogated.
Meanwhile, the suspect in the shooting of well known character Manu Durant was released from police custody yesterday.
The suspect, a Jamaican known as “Lion”, was detained in the interior last Sunday.
“We sought legal advice on the matter and were advised that an inquest will be held,” a senior police official told this newspaper.
Manu Durant was shot dead in the Baroombar, a popular strip club on North Road, during an exchange of gunshots.
The incident occurred around 04:30 hours, just when the bar was about to be closed for business.
A police source had told this newspaper that Durant became annoyed after his alleged killer told him that the music had to be turned off.
According to the source, an upset Durant, who had a glass with liquor in his hand, approached the man and began arguing with him.
A brief exchange of words escalated and it led to Durant whipping out a gun from his waist and discharging a round which narrowly missed the man with whom he was arguing.
He did not cater for the man having a gun too.
A few seconds later, the man pulled out a gun and aimed it at Durant’s chest and squeezed the trigger several times, sending the bullets into Durant’s body. The man then calmly walked out of the bar and disappeared, while Durant lay motionless on the floor.
