(Kaieteur News) – The police constable who confessed to the murder of a 26-year-old Cuban woman, described in disturbing detail how he shot her using a teddy bear as a makeshift silencer, bound her remains with rope, and then systematically disposed of evidence across East Coast Demerara.

The suspect, Police Constable Randy Thomas, gave the account to detectives investigating the disappearance and death of Dailen Paneque Gómez, a Cuban national who was reported missing on 18th June while travelling to her job at the Mon Repos Health Centre. Her body was discovered six days later in Enmore Backdam, East Coast Demerara.

According to his confession, Thomas contacted Gómez and arranged to meet her at Enmore, where a discussion escalated into an argument. He claims she physically assaulted him during the confrontation — after which he pressed a teddy bear against her head and shot her with an unlicensed firearm he had in his possession.
