The News Room was informed that the bandits were all questioned by detectives and they have detailed their involvement in the crime.

De Costa reportedly bound the Chinese couple and after he was reportedly told by Scanio to kill them, he slit the throat of Lisong.

Adelph reportedly assisted De Costa to bound Suping. He also searched the supermarket for valuables. In doing this, he told investigators that he found an unknown amount of raw gold.

At the police station, Adelph reportedly handed over a piece of gold to a Guyana Defence Force rank, who he knows and asked that he deliver it to his mother.

The gold was handed over to the police and it weighed 4.3 grams.

However, the News Room was told that Scanio denied this.

Scanio told the police that he acted as a lookout man while his two accomplices were inside the supermarket.
