Six Cutlasses Seized as Police Probe Orlando Jaikarran’s Death

Police have seized six cutlasses and other items as investigations intensify into the alleged murder of six-year-old Orlando Jaikarran, a case that has prompted President Irfaan Ali to call for a review of the death penalty and sparked condemnation from senior government ministers.

The Guyana Police Force said further investigations were conducted on Tuesday, October 20, during which detectives recovered items of evidential value at Waterloo Main Canal, West Coast Berbice, where the alleged murder reportedly occurred.

A separate search at a residence in Bath Settlement, West Coast Berbice, resulted in the seizure of six cutlasses and other articles, which have since been lodged as exhibits.
