By Sharda Bacchus
Police Constable, Quincy Lewis who disappeared without a trace close to three years ago, was shot and killed allegedly by the husband of a woman he shared an intimate relationship with.
Crime Chief, Wendell Blanhum, on Wednesday, told the News Room that after months of investigation, ranks of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) were able to crack the case following the arrest of two suspects.
The News Room was reliably informed that the duo, who is currently in Police custody, were present when the crime allegedly occurred and they reportedly identified the woman and her husband as the prime suspects in the matter.
Information revealed that Lewis was lured to the East Bank Demerara home of the husband and wife where he was shot and killed. It is further alleged that the couple then transported Lewis’ body and dumped it in the vicinity of the Splashmin’s resort on the Linden/ Soesdyke Highway.
A team of investigators is currently searching an area along the highway where Lewis’ body is believed to have been dumped.
The News Room has since confirmed that the woman and her husband have since fled the jurisdiction via illegal means.
Lewis was attached to the Agricola Police Station on the East Bank of Demerara and left his home on June 19, 2020, for work but he never showed up.
A missing person’s report was filed seven days following his disappearance.
His cell phone was found a few months after he disappeared at Timehri, East Bank Demerara area with the screen cracked.
The car, PTT 7541, he was driving belonged to a friend and his family only knew he was missing four days after he disappeared when the friend showed up to collect the car.
CCTV footage shows when Lewis crossed the Demerara Harbour Bridge and headed in a southern direction. He was last seen entering Greenfield Park, East Bank Demerara.
Over the years, Lewis’ mother, Charlene Jordan had been hopeful for answers so that she can get closure.
