A 22-year-old girl is the first murder victim of the new year.
Carlotta Matthews, of North Ruimveldt Housing Scheme, was shot dead shorty after midnight today by a man identified as her ex-boyfriend.
The incident occurred in the vicinity of the East Coast Demerara bus park.
The alleged killer fled the scene. A source identified the suspect as ‘Jermaine,’ said to be a popular individual in the local biker fraternity.
Sources said that the two had resided in Leopold Street, but broke up some time ago.
