It has been more than a month since well-known Guyhoc Park mechanic Reginald Atherly was shot and killed during a home invasion and while no charge has yet been laid, Commander of ‘A’ Division Marlon Chapman said the investigation remains active.
The police had questioned remanded prisoner Marlon Bradley in relation to the crime but he was not charged.
He was said to be the main suspect in Atherly’s murder.
Bradley, 34, a resident of East La Penitence, Georgetown and also of Goed Fortuin, West Bank Demerara was shot by the police on the evening of August 4th after allegedly firing on ranks during their attempts to arrest him.
He was remanded to prison on August 9th after being charged with two offences; unlawful possession of a gun and ammunition.
Bail was refused and the matter was adjourned until September 6th.
Atherly, known as ‘Reggie’ and ‘Diesel Boss’, 44, was shot and killed around 4 am on July 27th during a scuffle with two gunmen, who invaded his Lot G26 Guyhoc Park home, in what appeared to be a hit.
He sustained several gunshot wounds about his body, including to his abdomen, and was pronounced dead on arrival at the Georgetown Public Hospital.
Atherly and his family were asleep when the gunmen invaded their home. He confronted the men and was shot as a result. The men escaped, empty-handed.
