Anns Grove man wanted for 2016 murder of girl, 14

The Guyana Police Force (GPF) has issued a wanted bulletin for 35-year-old Alvin “Satan” Reid for the 2016 murder of 14-year-old Malika Hamilton.
Reid was last year freed of the charge owing to insufficient evidence when he appeared before Magistrate Peter Hugh at the Vigilance Magistrate’s Court.
The body of the young girl was found on August 9, 2016 in the Hope Canal, East Coast Demerara (ECD), and it was initially assumed that the teen had drowned.
However, family members had been adamant that the child’s demise was as a result of foul play.
Government Pathologist, Dr Nehaul Singh, had conducted a post-mortem examination of the teen’s body, and it was revealed that she had died as a result of asphyxiation or suffocation. She was also said to have suffered from blunt trauma to the head and compression injury to the neck.
Shortly after, Police, following a lead, found Reid hiding in a barrel at the Anns Grove cemetery.
Reports are that although investigators spent several hours grilling the man about the murder, he had continuously denied any involvement in the crime.
Anyone with information that may lead to the arrest of Reid is asked to contact the Police on telephone numbers 229-2289, 229-3564, or 911 or at the nearest Police Station.
