(CMR) One week after the gruesome murder of Divonte Hernandez in George Town, the police say they will conduct a witness appeal in and around the scene of the crime at approximately the time of the offense, 10 a.m., on Friday, 6 October.
Police confirmed that one man is responsible for shooting the victim in the murder that took place Friday, 29 September. The suspect is described as tall and slim, wearing black clothing and a mask. It is believed that a second male was driving the getaway vehicle, a Honda Fit, that police have recovered. The vehicle has a heavy (illegal) tint, which is a common tactic employed by criminals.
“The murder would appear to have been a targeted attack, aimed specifically at the victim. The police understand that the community is concerned and upset by this incident. It’s a terrible loss of life that has left a family without a son and a young child – who was tragically a witness to the incident – without a father,” said Detective Superintendent Peter Lansdown.
“We ask that the community work with us to help locate and apprehend the culprits responsible. The culprits are out there and likely in hiding, which means that members of the public are aiding them to evade the police. This in itself is a crime,” he added.
The police have also encouraged anyone with any information about the murder to provide it to the Major Incident Room (MIR) on 649-2930 and not through social media channels where it can be misinterpreted and misrepresented.
Police have also requested that witnesses make themselves known to police so that appropriate measures can be put in place to ensure their safety, as opposed to remaining anonymous.
