Trinidad woman charged with murder of Guyanese accountant
A 25-year-old Trinidadian woman has been charged in Trinidad and Tobago with the murder of Guyana-born accountant Reagan Henderson Reece, whose remains were found in a grave at Arouca, a short distance from the Piarco International Airport, Trinidad.
Alima “Shorts” Reid appeared before an Arima Magistrate on August 22 where she was charged with the murder.
She was charged with the offence after Homicide Bureau of Investigations (HBI) Region Two officers executed a warrant at the prison on August 21.
Reid was previously charged with conspiracy to commit murder on July 24 and was remanded at the Arouca Prison.
Reece, 45, went missing about two months ago. He was last seen on June 22, at a barber shop at the Lapinot Junction, Trinidad, decked in a pair of black three-quarter pants, a black T-shirt, and black sneakers and was driving his Hyundai Tucson motor car, PEC 735.
The car was spotted several times in certain areas in the Twin Island Republic but there were no signs of the now dead man. However, as reported in Trinidad Express, the Police in Trinidad and Tobago, on July 23, found the remains of the Guyanese accountant.
According to media reports, the discovery was made after Police investigators acted on a tip. The Express stated that the remains were found in a grave close to a shack, and were covered with wooden boards. The body was found wrapped in plastic and investigators recognised a tattoo on the chest area of the body.
Following his disappearance, the Hunters Search and Rescue team in collaboration with the Trinidad and Tobago anti-kidnapping Unit suspected that Reece might have been abducted and later murdered. Police are continuing their investigations.
