ALMOST two months after Albouystown footballer, Paul Daniels was gunned down in front of his home after being robbed, a 25-year-old man was on Wednesday charged with his murder.

Alvin Jones called “Hot Skull,” appeared before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan and was not required to plead to the indictable charge, which alleged that on February 2, 2017 at Lot 252 Independence Boulevard, Albouystown, he murdered Paul Daniels during the course of a robbery.

Jones, who was unrepresented, told the court that he cleans fish at the Meadow Bank Wharf for a living and lives at Castello Housing Scheme, Georgetown. Police Prosecutor, Arvin Moore told the court that the police investigation is incomplete and the Chief Magistrate remanded Jones until June 12, 2017.

According to reports, Daniels, 32, called “Dundee,” who was a footballer attached to the Georgetown Football Club (GFC) was gun down moments after taking his fiancée to her Independence Boulevard home. Based on reports received, two armed men entered the home through a door located on the northern side of the building, which was left open.

Upon entering the house, they held Daniels and his fiancée at gunpoint and relieved him of a gold chain, which he was wearing at the time and an undisclosed sum of cash, after which the men exited the house. Daniels, who was also a carpenter, went in pursuit of the men and during the chase, the suspects discharged several rounds, one of which hit Daniels in the region of his stomach and chest.

He was rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
