Mark Richmond Remains in Custody | Guyana News

Mark Richmond remains locked up as police race against the clock—his detention extension expires Tuesday at 1 PM. Despite his lawyer’s plea that he’s been held past the 72-hour limit, the judge upheld the weekend extension, keeping Richmond behind bars. He surrendered to authorities with his attorney after detectives visited his home—this isn’t his first brush with the case. Back in 2022, he was arrested after a sergeant accused him of being part of a cover-up in Fagundes’ murder, citing tech evidence placing him at the scene and linking him to another businessman. That claim sparked a lawsuit later dropped after an apology. The killing of Ricardo Fagundes in March 2021 outside a Georgetown club left him shot after stepping out for a call—and while an outside security firm was brought in, it found no proof of a cover-up.
