Kaieteur News – Alvin Jones called “Hot Skull” was yesterday found guilty for the murder of Albouystown footballer, Paul Daniels.
Jones, a fish cleaner of Castello Housing Scheme, Georgetown, fatally shot Daniels during a robbery at Independence Boulevard, Albouystown, Georgetown on February 2, 2017.
His trial took place before Justice Priya Sewnarine-Beharry at the Georgetown High Court after he pleaded not guilty to the charge last week.

It was reported that on the day in question, Daniels picked up his girlfriend from work on a CG motorcycle and dropped her off at her residence.
