Teenagers wanted for Albouystown murders

The Guyana Police Force (GPF) on Tuesday issued wanted bulletins for two men wanted for separate murders.

Dead: Garfield Newton and Deon Charles

The Police stated that 18-year-old Kevin Carter also known as “Lil Boy” of West Ruimveldt Squatting Area, Georgetown, is wanted for questioning in relation to the murder committed on Garfield Newton.
The incident occurred on December 24, at Campbell Street, Albouystown, Georgetown.
Newton, 40, of Mandela Avenue, Georgetown, was reportedly killed moments after collecting several pieces of jewellery which he had taken to be cleaned at a goldsmith in Campbell Street.
He was attached to the Beharry Group of Companies as a bodyguard. It was reported that after Newton collected one silver band, one gold chain, and two gold rings, he made his way to his company’s motor van which was parked on Sussex Street, Albouystown.

Wanted: Ezekiel Hawker and Kevin Carter

However, about five minutes later, the goldsmith was informed by a teenager that Newton had been shot and was lying on the street. As a result, the goldsmith went out and saw Newton lying motionlessly on his abdomen. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Meanwhile, Ezekiel Hawker also known as “Alpha”, 18, of Forshaw Street, Queenstown, Georgetown, is wanted for the murder of 28-year-old Deon Charles of Middle Road, La Penitence, Georgetown, which also occurred on December 24 in Albouystown, Georgetown.
Charles was shot dead in execution-style whilst standing on James Street talking with friends.
It was reported that a white Toyota Axio drove up and stopped in front of him. Two males exited the back seat of the car and approached Charles but soon after a loud explosion suspected to be a gunshot was heard.
Charles reportedly fell to the ground and the two men immediately re-entered the car, which sped off the scene. He was taken to the GPHC where he was pronounced dead.
Anyone with information that may lead to the whereabouts of the two teenagers is asked to contact the Police on telephone numbers 226-7065, 227-1270, 226-7476, 911 or the nearest Police station.
