As the Guyana Police Force intensifies its investigation into the murder of Ricardo “Paper Shorts” Fagundes, a West Ruimveldt wash bay operator has been taken into police custody.
Sources told this publication that Udoh Kanu, a close associate of businessman Azruddin Mohamed, was detained by investigators. Kanu allegedly arranged the purchase of the Toyota Fielder wagon that was reportedly used in the botched execution which resulted in the fatal shooting of Fagundes instead of the alleged intended target, Roger Khan.
According to the source, Kanu reportedly accompanied the now-deceased Shawn Albert, also known as “Dexter” or “Rastaman,” and the late Shimroy Stewart to purchase the vehicle using money allegedly provided by Mohamed.
The source further claimed that while it remains unclear whether any of the men were the actual shooters, documents belonging to Stewart were used to register the vehicle. At the time, Stewart was employed by Arvina Parag, another business associate of Azruddin Mohamed.
Stewart has since died allegedly from diabetes.
Police investigations into the high-profile murder remain ongoing.
