The man was among three men who were wanted for the murder of Titus Sutton, which occurred at Baracara, Canje Creek, Berbice, on November 08, 2013.

During the said operation, a search was carried out in his home, and a suspected twelve gauge cartridge was found in a bag that was hanging on the bedroom wall.

Sutton, also known as ‘Frankie,’ 53, of Melanie Damishana, East Coast Demerara, was shot once to his chest in November 2013. In a press release, Police said Sutton was involved in an argument with another man who allegedly shot him to his chest with a shotgun.

Initial investigations revealed that Tulsi was speeding, headed west along the southern drive lane of the road while Emmanuel was also speeding but headed east along the northern drive, when Emmanuel allegedly lost control of his motorcycle.

This caused him to end up in the path of motorcycle # CM 2969.

As a result, both motorcycles collided head-on, causing the motorcyclists and the pillion rider to fall onto the road.

They were all picked up in an unconscious condition and taken to Port Mourant Public Hospital.  Tulsi was pronounced dead while, Emmanuel succumbed while receiving medical attention.

Seecharran was treated for a fractured skull and transferred to New Amsterdam Public Hospital, where he was further seen and examined and immediately admitted as a patient. His condition is regarded as critical.

Police investigations are ongoing.
