“From the beginning I told them who did it. I told them everything I got but they never showed any interest. It was only when Corporal Lowe took over then I got justice…” – Ulice LanfermanBy: Romila BoodramWhile it takes years for some people to get justice after their loved one would have been brutally murdered, it only took a few months for one mother, but her journey wasn’t an easy one.It was one that was filled with disappointments and obstacles but she never gave up.On the night of June 1, 2015, 23-year-old Terrence Lanferman, of Lot 37 Nelson Street, Mocha, East Bank Demerara, responded to someone knocking at his front door.When he opened the door, his ‘visitor’ whipped out a gun and pumped several bullets into his body. The killer escaped with an accomplice on a motorcycle.After her son was killed, his mother, Ulice Lanferman, practically lived at the Providence and Brickdam police stations.She was always there, trying to find out whether the police had any new leads about her son’s murder. For nine months, she continued to receive negative responses from ranks in the Guyana Police Force.Every time she received any information, she would pass these tips on to the officer who was handling the case. But she says that at times, her input was treated as being insignificant. Months passed, and Ulice Lanferman was forced to look at the persons who she was informed had executed her son, as they traversed the village.But last week, police took Kenkassie Lynch, an Eccles, East Bank resident into custody. Under interrogation,Wholesale NFL Jerseys, he allegedly confessed to killing Terrence Lanferman. He also implicated a cousin of his, whose only name has been given as “Birdman.”Lynch allegedly told investigators that he killed the 23-year-old electrician as a favour for his cousin, “Birdman,” since the duo had an ongoing feud for quite some time.Ulice hugs her son’s shirt as she recalls their time togetherExecuted: Terrence LanfermanThe suspect said that it was his cousin who took him to the scene on a CG motorcycle.Kaieteur News understands that Lynch told investigators that he carried out the killing a few days after returning from Cayenne, French Guiana, where he had reportedly lived for some three years. “Birdman” has not been arrested as yet.Mrs. Lanferman gave credit to police Corporal Devon Lowe and Assistant Superintendent Mitchell Caesar.She said that the two cops listened and worked with her from the time they took over the case till the end.The woman said that it was Corporal Lowe who took Lynch into custody and this later led to a confession.Going back to the night of the murder, the woman said that she was at work when one of her co-workers rushed to her and demanded that she immediately go to the supervisor’s office.When she got there,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, she was told to go home but no one would tell her what had happened.As she was preparing to leave her workplace, she spotted one of her cousins crying bitterly. She was then told to go to the Georgetown Public Hospital.“When I got there, then I heard that my son was shot and that he was inside the accident and emergency unit. I had no idea that he had died, it was after 10:00 (pm) I heard he died,” the woman claimed.Mrs. Lanferman said that she was informed that two cousins had killed her son, but had no idea as to why they would want to kill him.“I heard who the shooter was and the very next day I went with this information to the police officer. The person who was doing the initial investigation had no time with me,” the mother said.“It wasn’t easy meeting with him (the police who started the investigation). Just as I finish giving the statement after the funeral, that was it, it was very frustrating. He (police) showed no interest in the matter I told him everything but he ignored me.”The mother is of the opinion that her son’s murder could have been solved sooner had the police listened to her.“From the beginning I told them who did it. I told them everything I got but they never showed any interest. It was only when Corporal Lowe took over then I got justice,” the woman lamented.In her quest for justice, she was forced to visit the Crime Chief, Wendell Blanhum twice. “He was very supportive and he gave me assurance.”Last week,NFL Jerseys Supply, ranks from the Major Crimes Unit questioned Kenkassie Lynch, who allegedly gave them a detailed account of how he killed Lanferman.Two days before the murder, he allegedly went to Mocha on a new CG motorcycle, which had no licence plates,China NFL Jerseys, to meet some of his relatives.While there, he spoke with a male cousin and the two men bought and smoked a ‘spliff.’ They reportedly then disclosed that he and Terrence Lanferman had an ongoing feud, and that he, (the cousin)

–?? ?Dr. Graham Watkins is a ‘Special Person’  “Over the coming years, it will be important to effectively marry development and conservation interests in the Rupununi to ensure culturally, socially and ecologically sustainable development that builds on the unique natural and social capital of the area.”He puts it in the same league as the Galapagos, Serengeti and Ngorongoro, so it’s easy to see why the Rupununi is Guyana-born British biologist Dr Graham Watkins’ favourite place.Snuggling a giant otter and allowing it to “nibble” him is a good indication of his love affair with the Rupununi, for which he has just completed the book “Rupununi: Rediscovering a Lost World.”? It was first released in October 2010 by Earth in Focus Editions, the non-profit publishing arm of the International League of Conservation Photographers.Dr. Graham WatkinsOf the Rupununi, it’s the North – stretching from the Siparuni Rover to the Kanuku Mountains and from the Essequibo River to the Brazilian Border – that Dr. Watkins finds his fascination. He sees it as an extraordinary natural area that has been hidden from the public eye for too long.The area was well known in the 19th and?early 20th centuries, when it received visits from well-known explorers David Attenborough,Wholesale Jerseys, Gerald Durrell, Evelyn Waugh and Charles Waterton.On this latest book, Watkins collaborated with?Pete Oxford and Rene??Bish. Oxford, a British biologist, is an internationally renowned,?award-winning nature photographer. Bish is a naturalist, conservationist, designer, sculptor, nurse and photographic partner.In getting the book out, Watkins believes he has given back to a place that has been very important for his own development and learning.Dr. Watkins has spent most of his life working in Guyana and Ecuador. He was the Executive Director of the Charles Darwin Foundation in Galapagos from 2005 to 2009 and prior to this, during 2003 and 2004, he was the Director General of the Iwokrama International Centre?for Rain Forest Conservation and Development in Guyana.His professional life includes more than 20 years of experience in ecological research, collaborative wildlife and fisheries management, and sustainable enterprise development in aquaculture, fisheries and tourism.Dr Watkins has worked in Guyana for over ten years to ensure the conservation of the North Rupununi Wetlands, and was again home recently to give his input in the creation of a Centre for Biodiversity Research at the University of Guyana.He holds a degree in Zoology from St. Catherine’s College,Cheap World Cup Jerseys, Oxford, in the UK and a Ph.D. in Ecology and Evolution from the University of Pennsylvania, USA, and has published more than 30 popular and technical articles and books.Watkins’ love of nature actually developed in Trinidad and Tobago – the homeland of his mother. He left Guyana at age three,Cheap Jerseys Online, and the place called home would be next to a lake full of Spectacled Caimans. And butterflies were “everywhere” too.Growing up then, there were plenty opportunities to head out to the middle of the lake to peep at nesting iguanas, but a lake full of caimans added exhilaration to trip.Over the past 20 years, Dr Watkins’ work has focused on demonstrating how the rainforest could be used in a sustainable way.While at Iwokrama, his task included documenting the wildlife in the one-million hectare forest, and so it is little wonder that his favourite pursuit in the Rupununi is the road running through the Iwokrama Forest. He wishes though that there were fewer minibuses traversing the road.The management plan he developed for the Iwokrama Forest is held up as the only management plan for any of the protected areas in Guyana.Caiman catching in the Rupununi (Graham Watkins photo)Watkins first went to the Rupununi when he started working with Iwokrama in 1996. His fascination with the area developed not only after observing the mix of extraordinary wildlife, but also how much the local Amerindian people understood the area they called home. After all,China Jersyes Cheap, it is the Amerindians who have been the custodians of their land, and have kept in intact.As a result, while in Guyana, Watkins worked to promote what some have called “citizen science,” sapping the wisdom of the Rupununi’s inhabitants and combining it with scientific thinking to craft the way forward in protecting the forests and what’s in them.That has led to the formation of several wildlife clubs, providing a platform for young Amerindians to do their own research and debate issues of survival and conservation.He began working with the Iwokrama International Centre in 1996 through a contract between the Iwokrama Project and the Academy of Natural Sciences of
