Twenty-eight years after her murder, police say Monica Reece probe remains open

Monica Reece

Today  will mark 28 years since Monica Reece was murdered and her body dumped on Main Street and while the killing remains unsolved to date, Crime Chief Wendell Blanhum has assured that the investigation remains open.

However, Blanhum says that the Guyana Police Force had a “real prospect” of successfully solving the case back in 2016 but a shake-up of the force got in the way.

In July, 2016, Blanhum had announced that the Guyana Police Force’s (GPF) Cold Crimes Unit was reopening several cold cases, a decision which he had said followed calls made by members of the public, and particularly by relatives.
