(Kaieteur News) – The investigation into the 2021 assassination of Ricardo Fagundes, known as ‘Paper Shorts’, saw rapid developments over the last seven days. An East Bank Demerara businessman was arrested on Wednesday, a wanted mechanic surrendered to authorities, and three high-profile suspects were released on $1 million station bail each.

Reacting to the arrests in a video address posted to his Facebook page last evening, Leader of the Opposition Azruddin Mohamed criticised the police’s handling of the case, questioning why key figures remain untouched. “They continue to harass random people, yet key witnesses in the case, like Roger Khan, we haven’t seen a wanted bulletin for,” Mohamed stated.

Troy Singh, the owner of an Eccles-based tint shop, was arrested by police at his home at 10:00 AM on Tuesday. He remains in custody at the Kitty Police Station. Singh is the fifth person arrested in connection with the murder probe this year.
