By Mark DaCosta- The murder of Ricardo Fagundes, alias “Paper Shorts,” has taken another turn, with fresh developments in the five-year-old case raising questions about the intersection of justice and politics. The Guyana Police Force has issued a wanted bulletin for Satrohan Rajkumar, widely known as “Depo,” in connection with the March 2021 execution-style killing outside a Georgetown nightclub.

Simultaneously, three men previously detained in relation to the homicide—Udoh Kanu, former manager at Mohamed’s Security; auto dealer Amarnauth Ramsook; and Mark Richmond, a former security guard—have been released on $1 million station bail each.

The latest chapter began with the detention of Richmond, who voluntarily presented himself at Criminal Investigation Department Headquarters on July 8 after police enquiries at his residence the previous day. His initial 72-hour detention expired on July 11, but police successfully applied for an extension without, according to his attorney Damien DaSilva, notifying the defence.
