Police in Guyana are investigating the circumstances surrounding the escape of a remanded prisoner from Lusignan Prison, East Coast Demerara. Multiple reports say the prisoner, identified as Adrian Damder of Graham Street, Better Hope, escaped sometime between 08:00hrs and 16:00hrs on Sunday, 17 May 2026. Damder is reported to have been held on remand after being remanded to Lusignan Prison on 14 January 2026 in connection with alleged threatening language offences, as well as another matter described in the initial case reporting. The Guyana Police Force is conducting inquiries into how the escape occurred and is working to locate the escaped prisoner. No details on the method of escape, whether anyone assisted him, or the state of prison security at the time are provided in the available reports. Both outlets present the incident date, time window, identity, residence, and that he is a remand prisoner as the shared core facts, while the broader investigation is ongoing.
