Police: Khan was a fugitive

By Susan Mohammed

JIMMY KHAN, whose body was found on the roadside in Couva on Saturday with a bullet wound to the head, was a fugitive being sought by the police for several months.

A senior officer attached to Central Police Division told the Express that police were in search of Khan, 29, of Preysal, in connection with a robbery in Couva.

A sketch of a person resembling Khan was posted on a wall at Couva Police Station up until yesterday.

The sketch was done following a robbery in June at a house at McBean Village, Couva.

Police said they are exploring several leads in his killing, but there were no suspects as yet.

Khan was found dead at the side of the road at La Fortune Street.

He had a single gunshot wound to the left side of the head.

An autopsy was expected to be conducted on his body at the Forensic Science Centre, Federation Park, yesterday.

Southern Division Homicide officer Sergeant Maharaj is investigating.
