GEORGETOWN: The body of auto dealer Rajendra Singh who was kidnapped recently was found with a gunshot wound to the head. The body was discovered at Le Repentir Cemetery today.
The kidnappers had initially demanded $50M minutes after snatching the 40-year old Singh called ‘Sunil’ from his business place on the Foulis Public Road, East Coast Demerara around 18:54 hours on Saturday.
However, from all indications the money had not been paid.
The man also told his wife that the kidnappers are demanding too, the video recording from the CCTV cameras that are mounted around the business place.
While the businessman’s stolen car was recovered a few hours after the abduction, on the Goedverwagting Railway Embankment, a few miles away, police have widened their search, going as far as the Soesdyke/Linden Highway where they arrested a female.
Singh’s car which was found abandoned at Goedverwagting has been dusted for fingerprints.
A source said that the kidnappers appeared to be well aware of Singh’s activities since the questioned him about the whereabouts of his 13 year old son. The teenager had left to go to a nearby barber.
The gunmen demanded the keys to Singh’s car and when it was handed to them by his wife, they bundled the businessman into the trunk and drove away with the Toyota Ist.
Singh’s wife later got help and tried to go after the kidnappers but the men had disappeared with the businessman and his car, which was later found abandoned at Goedverwagting.
The car which was stripped of some of its interior parts has been dusted for fingerprints as police continue their investigations.
