Police are continuing their investigations into the alleged murder of Anthony Haynes called โOne Nattyโ, a 29-year-old of Lot 10 Grahamโs Hall, East Coast Demerara, which occurred at around 20:00 hrs on Sunday night at the mentioned address. Investigators are looking for a 19-year-old murder suspect.
Inquiries disclosed that Haynes resided at Grahamโs Hall with his reputed wife Ronette Abrams, a 26-year-old Customer Service Representative, and their two-month-old baby girl.
According to Abrams, on the date mentioned, she was at home in the kitchen while Haynes was in the living room holding their baby and conversing with the 19-year-old suspect, who was at their house at the time.
A short while after, Abrams said she heard Haynes saying: โStop playing with the gunโ, then a loud explosion that sounded like a gunshot coming from the living room, and the baby crying. On checking, she saw her husband lying motionless in a chair with a wound to his left side chest, holding their baby. The 19-year-old suspect was standing over him with a handgun in his hand.
The suspect then took the deceased out of the house onto the road at Crown Dam Industry, a few meters away from the home, where he covered him with a sheet and left him, after which he made good his escape.
The body of the deceased was examined, and what appeared to be a gunshot wound was observed to his left side chest. One live .38 round of ammunition was found in the living room of the house.
The deceased along with the two-month-old baby were escorted to the GPHC, where he was pronounced dead by a doctor on duty, while the baby received treatment for a wound to her right inner shoulder.
