The police were yesterday granted an additional 72 hours to detain the suspect who was held over the murder of 14-year-old Malika Hamilton as they continue their investigations.
A police source told Stabroek News yesterday afternoon that an application, which was made to the High Court requesting the extension of the detention, was granted.
The prime suspect in the murder, who has only been identified by the alias “Satan,” was caught by ranks of the Guyana Police force, hiding in a barrel in the Ann’s Grove cemetery on Thursday morning. He was arrested and taken into custody.
