GUYANA’S FIRST COLD CASE UNIT TAKING SHAPE
With the numerous unsolved cases to date, Guyana will soon have its first cold case unit. It is said to be located at the CID headquarters and will be managed by Former Deputy Crime Chief, Senior Superintendent Hugh Jessamy. Senior Superintendent Jessamy has been in the force for years and served in a number of fields whilst also taking training in the necessary areas. He is said to have a reputation of solving a number of high-profile cases making him capable of being the head of the cold case unit. Further, this unit will take the responsibility of the many unsolved murders that have plague the country for years. This include the 2009 disappearance and suspected murder of US citizen Kwame Rumel Jobronewet; the Trevor Rose execution, the 2008 execution of Chief Environmental Officer Alicia Foster, the 1993 Monica Reece murder among many others.
The establishment of the cold case unit will eventually bring closure to those families who have never gotten the justice needed for their families. This is as a result of the potential of the unit to solve those cases. The unit is said to be of benefit to the country as a whole with regards to the progression of the country.
