-signs point to murder
The body found at the back of the Cheddi Jagan Inter-national Airport, Timehri, on Tuesday has been identified as that of a missing Campbellville man, who, according to relatives, was brutally murdered.
Kelvin Hinds
Forty-year-old Kelvin Hinds, a father of four, left his 181 Campbellville Housing Scheme home last Wednesday morning around 10 am and was not seen again. Reports are that the man’s body was found in a crouching position. There were reports too that he had sustained a single gunshot wound to his head, but relatives could not confirm this. However, they said while the body was somewhat decomposed, it was obvious that he was battered as his face was disfigured.
His reputed wife, Shonette Howell, who is the mother of two of his four children, told Stabroek News yesterday that Hinds left their home to visit a friend who lives a short distance from them in the same area. She said the friend had told her that he gave the man $5,000 and he left with the promise that he would have returned shortly.
The woman said after Hinds did not return home she tried calling him but his phone was off. On Friday, she reported him missing at the Prashad Nagar Police Station and was told that the station would have alerted other stations. “But they didn’t do it because when I went to Brickdam Police Station dem ent had no report about he being missing,” the woman said.
Howell, who is in the early stages of her third pregnancy, said she and the man’s relatives called around and looked for him but no one had heard from or seen him since Wednesday.
Yesterday morning, she said, one of his brothers called her and informed her that a body had been found at Timehri and she should visit Le Repentir morgue to view it.
“But I tell he I don’ t think I able and that he should go and see it. But when he went they tell he that he had to get a police from Eve Leary before he see the body so I went and get de police and went to the mortuary,” the woman said. She said she then decided to view the body and even though it was badly decomposed and his face had been bashed in, she recognised Hinds by the clothing he was wearing: a gray vest and three-quarter pants. Howell said she also recognised her reputed husband by his teeth. “I know is he and the only thing missing is his brown slippers and cream cap that he left with.”
“He was murdered but I don’t know who do it or for what,” she said.
When asked if her husband ever had any brushes with the law, Howell said that he was once incarcerated on an accusation of robbery but that matter was thrown out of court.
She said since the incarceration the police have been constantly harassing the family and would sometimes claim they are looking for guns but they never found anything incriminating.
Howell had approached Stabroek News once to complain about police harassment as according to her police officers were in the habit of placing guns in her young children’s faces.
Meanwhile, Stabroek News has been reliably informed that Hinds spent several years in the Mazaruni Prison for a gun-related offence. Howell said even though the body was decomposed it would be kept on ice for another few days as Hinds’s mother is overseas and is expected for his funeral.
Vigilanties? Phantoms?
GUY123,that is the real truth!
They’re back.
Police phantoms— goons.
A purge is needed in the Government TOP TO BOTTOM…
Those suckers needs more than that honey and I mean it.
Our country has gone to the dogs ( pit-bulls ) at that.
live by the gun you die by the gun!!
come on now, how do you know that he was doing something wrong when he met his demise.
Meanwhile, Stabroek News has been reliably informed that Hinds spent several years in the Mazaruni Prison for a gun-related offence…….the lady ent telin de truth hey..can understand why…so now lets blame de govt fuh dis…..e is nat a lil mango thief ramjatan talked about….ya darn right…live by de gun yuh gun dead by de gun…
Ok cack-eye you may be right here but what crime did he commit after his release that cause someone, presumable your so liked Phantom sqaud, to end his life in this manner. Was this man wanted by the police? Was there a pending court case against him? Was he caught snatching a chain, thiefing mangoes etc? what did he do exactly that cause someone to execute him? If, live by the gun die by the gun is your motto you are advocating then dont you think we should execute everyone who serve their sentenses for gun related crimes, or who was arrested for possessions of unlicense firearms? If so why wasn’t RK found dead with a Gun shot to his head.
Make sense and please control your hate.

Mr.Stabroek News editor/Moderator,I am asking if this is not your policy and yet day after day you allowed bloggers to attack other bloggers including name calling.
Mr.Editor only two days ago you and your news media allowed some blogger some racist views with regard to an East Indian woman that went missing in Toronto Canada.
You even allowed one blog which had absolutely nothing to do with the “disapperance” of this woman where the blogger stated “she is in ny cooking roti for her family”
Mr.Editor I have been monotiring some of these blogs here and this one clearly takes the cake where Pepie/Turbo and Brandon Samaroo whom I think is one person constantly attacking some bolggers here and are even calling them names not associated with their bolg names.For instance,take a serious look at Pepie how his blog stated in response to Evileyes as “ok Cackeye” is this not name calling?
This has to stop and it’s only you have it in your power to stop this once and for all and let everyone have their say here with out the name calling and the personal attacks and the racial comments.
Mr.Moderator when some bloggers read a name and see a photo and then mentioned the word “Roti” which had absolutelty nothing to do with what happened to the lady you ought to kill it.
Mr.Moderator I am a black man and I know what this blog is all about.
Mr.Moderator please be reminded that there are PPP/C / PNCR and AFC supporters here on your blog site and I know how you chopped some comments from bloggers because they complained of it.Like your policy said to be fair and balance I ask your moderators to see it that way and that way only.Stop these unwanted personal attack and this name calling.
Mr.Moderator this is your policy.

Witch- Do you have any evidences to back up your statement or you just like the run your mouth. You must be aware that it very easy to murdered in Guyana.
CURL do i have to spell out eveything fa you,read between the lines if you are capable enough to!!He was no saint.
Sometimes when the law fails to give victims satisfaction they does take the law into their own hands, maybe this case looks like one of them, cant blame this on RK.
Relatives could not confirm his wound, SN? How about the police confirming it? Also, the friend gave him $5000 for what? What kind of sloppy reporting is that SN?
Things that make you go hmmmm. The deeper more troubling picture here is he ‘gets’ 5 grand, has a pregnant live-in woman, 4 children (2 with the current live-in) – this is just special, just special! Yet we continue to cry out for poverty and victimization. When do we take responsibility for our own actions?
Just STOP with your judgemental attitude. If you have a better fix for this problem, then share it with us, nah, tell ur government instead of running yuh mouth and condemning ppl
More to this story and more to this man , who knows what he was involved in . Remember he was once in jail for gun related offence , this alone should have u thinking.
Ultimate many of d youth carry guns else dem dead…dead…dead.
