(Kaieteur News) – A 29-year-old policeman has been arrested after investigators allegedly uncovered what they believe was an attempt to conceal his involvement in the hit-and-run crash that killed two Nabaclis men on the Bee Hive Railway Embankment, East Coast Demerara, last Sunday night. The rank, Corporal Shareef Mohamed, was taken into custody after police examined his damaged vehicle and reportedly recovered suspected blood traces using luminol, nearly a week after Collin ‘Cappo’ Bristol and Akeem ‘Burnham’ Burgess were fatally struck and left on the roadway.

Kaieteur News understands that Bristol and Burgess were on a bike when a car hit them. The car drove away from the scene. Public-spirited citizens later responded to assist the men, but they were pronounced dead at the Enmore Regional Hospital by the time they were transported there for treatment.

Reports reaching Kaieteur News last night disclosed that acting on information received, two ranks visited Lot 25 River View Housing Scheme, Unity, Mahaica, East Coast Demerara, where they contacted Shareef Mohamed, a 29-year-old Guyanese male of Indian descent, residing at the said address. Mohamed is Corporal of Police No. 23531, stationed at the Annandale Police Outpost, East Coast Demerara, and is the registered owner of motorcar PAK 1593.
