Police arrest 2nd suspect in East Ruimveldt murder probe

Police investigators on Monday midday arrested another man in connection with the murder of East Ruimveldt resident, Paul Rodney.

Police Assistant Commissioner, Clifton Hicken, confirmed the arrest to News Source and said it was based on intelligence gathering.  The arrest took place in the South Ruimveldt.

Last week, the Police arrested the main suspect in the murder. He was found with a bullet wound to one of his legs.

The West Ruimveldt man, Paul Rodney, was gunned down in Avocado Street, East Ruimveldt two Mondays just after he left a party event in the community.

He reportedly had a disagreement with two men at the event and it is believed that the two men followed him out of the event and confronted him before he was shot multiple times to the body.

Rodney’s blood soaked body was taken to the hospital where he died as doctors battled to save his life.

Ranks on a  police patrol that was close to the area heard the gunshots and rushed across to the scene but found the man lying on the roadway while persons dashed for cover and other gunshots were heard.

The probe continues.
