The Ministry of Home Affairs on Monday said the Guyana Police Force has identified and is actively pursuing a suspect believed to be responsible for the explosion that occurred Sunday evening at the Mobil Service Station, located at Regent and King streets, Georgetown.
President Irfaan Ali, who is in Saudi Arabia on an official visit, said “I was also briefed on the identification of an individual of interest, and I have instructed that images of this person be circulated widely so that the public may assist the Guyana Police Force by sharing any information that could aid the investigation.”
The tragic incident, which involved several motor vehicles, claimed the life of six-year-old Soraya Bourne and left four others injured. Those seriously injured are Sedyia McIntosh and Rishad Lorde. Jennifer Cooper and Yvonne Jones sustained minor injuries.
President Ali said “I have directed that a full-scale investigation be launched immediately and that every available resource and investigative tool be utilised to determine the precise cause and circumstances of this incident.”
The home affairs ministry continues to work closely with the relevant security agencies to ensure that all aspects of this tragic event are thoroughly investigated and that justice is served.
In May, 2025 two loud explosions simultaneously occurred at the Ruimveldt Police Outpost and a nearby Guyana Power and Light substation on Mandela Avenue. At that time, two Spanish-speaking persons had been identified as the suspects.
