They give preventive detention to the Guyana police officer for the feminicide of a Cuban woman

Havana/Randy Thomas, a police officer in Guyana, was sent to preventive detention for the alleged femicide of Cuban Dailen Paneque. On Monday, the 20-year-old man appeared before Magistrate Teriq Mohamed at the Vigilance Magistrates’ Court, where he was charged. The resolution of the case was postponed until July 21.

Paneque disappeared on Thursday, June 18, while on his way to work at the Mon Repos Health Center. Days later, on the 24th, his decomposed body was found in some bushes at Enmore Backdam, on the east coast of Demerara. At that time, local authorities indicated that it was “a premeditated attack.”

According to the portal Stabroek News“Thomas confessed to having killed Paneque by placing a teddy bear on his head and using a firearm to carry out the crime” and gave details of where the woman was. These details were released by the head of the crime division and deputy commissioner of Police, but have not been verified in court.

The investigations by detectives at the headquarters of the Criminal Investigation Department have determined that there was a romantic relationship between the victim and the police officer. Although so far there is no “formal cell phone and the investigation is ongoing,” the portal published Kaieteur News.

Paneque left the Island in search of better living conditions. He left his daughter on the island. From the moment they lost contact with her, family and friends uploaded videos on social networks to report her disappearance.

“A family is destroyed. A girl is left without her mother. And another Cuban who left her country looking for opportunities loses her life far from her land, in the most unfair and cruel way,” Kiryat Poey published on Facebook.

In the same space, he noted that the murderer “bought a rope in a Chinese market, the same one that he allegedly used to tie the young woman’s body and drag it to the bush where it was found.”
