Four high profile inmates, who were serving sentences relating to murder and manslaughter, escaped from the Mazaruni prison in Region Seven (Cuyuni-Mazaruni) on Tuesday morning and are still at large.
The News Room understands that the escape occurred just after 07:00h during an unlocking exercise at the prison. Prison officials are reportedly being assisted by members of the Guyana Police Force in recapturing the convicts.
They have been identified as Imran Ramsaywack, Kenrick Lyte, Samuel Gouveia and Rayon Jones. The police have since issued wanted bulletins for men who will now face an ‘Escaping from Lawful Custody’ charge.
“The Guyana Police Force in its efforts to recapture the inmates, is appealing to members of the public, relatives and friends to give any relevant information as to the whereabouts of these escapees so that they can be captured and returned to the prison,” a statement from the police noted.
An appeal was made to the escapees to surrender to the police or relevant authority, to avoid any serious confrontation that is likely to result in the use of force.
All information will be treated with a high degree of confidence and also the rights of those escapees will be respected and upheld.
Anyone with information that may lead to the arrest of Imran Ramsaywack, Kenrick Lyte, Samuel Gouveia and Ryan Jones is asked to contact the police on telephone numbers 455-2238, 455-2222, 455-2241, 226-4585, 225-2700, 225-3650, 226-1326, 911 or the nearest police station.
