The police have made no arrests in the death of 37-year-old, Detective Sergeant Harry Kooseram but acting Commissioner of Police, Floyd McDonald, said that they have "good" leads they are working on.

McDonald was questioned on Thursday at a press conference as to how far the investigation into the police officer's death had progressed.

He said that they had not been able to complete the investigation but disclosed that they had good information that could lead to persons or persons being arrested.

Kooseram also called `Rudy' of 149 First Street, Bladen Hall, East Coast Demerara, was fatally shot by an unknown assailant on April 15.

The police officer, who was stationed at the Vigilance Police Station, was shot six times. He was on his way to work when a man approached him, pulled out a gun, which was wrapped in a paper bag and fired six shots two of which hit him in the chest, another three in his abdomen and one in his side.

He was subsequently rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation where he died while his assailant reportedly escaped into the Friendship area.
