"Guyanese officials say they will seek the death penalty for an alleged Venezuelan criminal gang member if he is found guilty of planting a bomb at a petrol station on Sunday that killed a schoolgirl and injured four people. Police captured Daniel Alexander Ramirez Peodomo at a coastal village on Tuesday, two days after they said that CCTV footage had placed him at a city Mobil Petrol station with a bag containing the explosives that killed a six-year-old girl and hurt four other people."
"Deputy Commissioner Wendell Blanhum told a briefing this week that investigators are adamant that they have the right suspect in custody, as "there is no issue about identification. The issue of identification does not exist. The prime suspect was positively identified by one of his accomplices: Moreso, the suspect as was mentioned before confessed to his involvement in this particular crime. There is no issue about identification any longer," he said."
A suspect, Daniel Alexander Ramirez Peodomo, was captured at a coastal village two days after CCTV placed him at a Mobil petrol station carrying a bag with explosives that killed a six-year-old girl and injured four people. Investigators say the suspect was positively identified by an accomplice and confessed to involvement. Authorities report he arrived illegally by boat from Venezuela carrying a remotely controlled device and admitted membership in the 'R' and Sindicato gangs. Eight other people, including Guyanese nationals, have been arrested. The government will seek the death penalty if he is convicted.
