The Guyana Police Force has issued a wanted bulletin for 18-year-old Steven Archibald in connection with the murder of 23-year-old Kyle Chase who was stabbed to death on December 30, 2019, at Mazaruni Street, Guyhoc Park.

Police Headquarters said that Archibald’s last known address is Lot 136 Victoria Street, Alboustown Georgetown.

Anyone with information that may lead to the arrest of STEVEN ARCHIBALD is asked to contact the police on telephone numbers, 226-6978, 225-8196, 226-2870, 226-7065, 227-1149, 226-7065, 911 or the nearest police station.

On January 6, a 22-year- Guyana Water Inc. (GWI) employee was remanded to prison for the murder.

Nigel Thomas of James and Victoria Street Albouystown appeared before the Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan and was not required to plead to the capital offence.

According to the facts presented in court, Thomas and Chase were known to each other. It is alleged that Thomas had shared a relationship with Chase’s girlfriend in the past.

On December 30, 2019, at about 21:45 hours, Chase was at his girlfriend’s house at Lot 123 Mazaruni Street, Guyhoc Park, along with his cousin Trevon Chase when Thomas and another male visited.

Mansfield told the court that Thomas became enraged when he saw Chase at the house and the two men started an argument which was followed by a scuffle.

Thomas armed himself with a screwdriver and stabbed Chase to his neck and other parts of his body.
