ALVIN Jones, called “Hot Skull”, who was last December sentenced to serve 42.5 years’ imprisonment for murder, is now challenging his conviction and sentence.
On December 22, 2020, Jones was sentenced by Justice Priya Sewnarine-Beharry at the Georgetown High Court, after being found guilty by a 12-member jury.
Jones was convicted of the murder of Paul Daniels, 32, called “Dundee”. The then Georgetown Football Club (GFC) footballer was gunned-down at his fiancée’s Independence Boulevard, Albouystown home on February 2, 2017.

Jones, in his documents filed at the Court of Appeal, claims that his conviction cannot stand. He is asking that his sentence be set aside since it was unfair, too severe, and excessive.
On January 18, 2021, Jones was stabbed several times about his body following an altercation with another inmate at the prison. This newspaper had reported that Jones was attacked after he touched the buttocks of another inmate. He is currently a patient at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC).
The Guyana Chronicle had reported that on February 2, 2017, two armed men entered the Daniel’s fiancée’s home through a door, located on the northern side of the building, which was left open.

The armed men held Daniels and the woman at gunpoint, and later relieved him of a gold chain, and an undisclosed sum of money.
The robbers then made good their escape and Daniels gave chase. During the pursuit, one of the robbers discharged several rounds, one of which hit Daniels in the region of his stomach and chest. Daniels was picked up and rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation, where he was pronounced dead.
