Johniel Wilson

Taxi driver found dead at Ogle

Car missing, hijacking suspected

The body of a taxi driver was found dumped on the Embankment Road at Ogle, East Coast Demerara early yesterday morning.

The body was identified as 24-year-old, Johniel Wilson called ‘ATN’ or ‘Shane’ of Linden, whose Green Marino car PHH 1897 is missing and presumed hijacked.

Reports suggest that Wilson, who operated from Demico House, was hired by some men late on Wednesday night. Since he was not seen after this, it is presumed that the vehicle may have been hijacked and commandeered to East Coast Demerara. It is believed that a struggle ensued during which Wilson was shot and his body dumped from the car in the vicinity of Ogle.
