The taxi driver who was wanted by the police for questioning in relation to the murder of Simone Hackett turned himself over to the police on Friday evening, less than a day after his blood stained vehicle was found abandoned.
Crime Chief Wendell Blanhum told Stabroek News that the taxi driver surrendered on Friday evening to the police at Mahdia.
According to Blanhum, the man has since admitted to having knowledge of the crime. This newspaper was reliably informed that under interrogation he told investigators that he knew Hackett’s reputed husband, Clevaughn Hamilton, who he had picked up in Georgetown on Saturday, April 16.
