He will be questioned by investigators in relation to the murder.

She was found by workers attached to a construction company who were on their way to refuel an excavator.

Evelyn was clad in a white jersey, black jeans and a pair of black footwear.

Investigators found a 9mm spent shell about ten feet from Evelyn’s head. A cell phone was also found next to her body.

During an interview with the News Room on Monday, Evelyn’s mother, Juliet Alves said the dead woman was threatened in the past by two men and was recently intimidated.

Still finding it hard to accept the death of her daughter, Juliet related that Evelyn left home on Saturday informing her that she was going to collect some money.

She did not provide any other details. However, Juliet said Evelyn was accompanied by a female. They left together in a taxi.

Juliet further told the News Room that after Evelyn did not return home, she tried calling her all day on Sunday but got no answer.

She said a friend of Evelyn sent her a photo of her lifeless body, lying in a pool of blood. As such, Juliet went to a parlour and her worst fear was confirmed.

“Me see she just now. I see she body. Me can’t get to open she hair. Me can’t hold she. Like right now me body don’t have strength I just praying to God fah stand up,” the distraught mother said.

Juliet said Evelyn moved to Guyana about six years ago.

Evelyn is the mother of two children, ages 3 and 5.

“Is she wah does pay the rent and everything. I don’t have nowhere to go with them children,” Juliet said.

 

Opting to bat first, Guyana’s batting lineup struggled to gain momentum. They were dismissed for a meager 57 runs in 17.2 overs.

Only Tilleya Maramootoo (12) reached double figures.

Erin Dean spearheaded Barbados’ bowling attack with a phenomenal 4-5 haul in just 2.2 overs, while Nia Wood chipped in with 2-8.

Despite the low score, Guyana’s bowlers displayed exceptional grit in defending their total.

Danielle Manns emerged as the bowling hero for the second consecutive match, grabbing 3-13 from her four overs.

The Guyanese bowling attack was so dominant that they dismissed the top three Barbadian batters for ducks.

Crystal Durant (2-6), Tremaine Marks (2-11), and Niya Latchman (2-13) all contributed with crucial wickets, restricting Barbados to 52 all out in 17.1 overs.

Only Elicia Bowman (15) and Nia Wood (12) managed significant resistance for Barbados.

With this hard-fought win, Guyana maintains its position at the top of the points table, boasting a perfect record of three wins from three matches.

They will look to extend their winning streak when they face the Leeward Islands on July 9th at the Diego Martin Sporting Complex from 10:00h.

found fatally shot on Sunday.

Alves, a mother of two, was identified by her mother hours after her body was found with a gunshot wound to her head.

Police reported that the woman was discovered lying on the road at the New Diamond Development Housing Scheme, East Bank Demerara.

She was found by workers attached to a construction company who were on their way to refuel an excavator.
The woman was clad in a white jersey, black jeans and a pair of black footwear.

A tattoo of a butterfly was seen on her right arm.

The scene was processed and Police said investigators found a 9mm spent shell about ten feet from the woman’s head.
A cell phone was also found next to her body.

 

EDITOR’S NOTE: This story initially reported that the woman was identified as Fabiana Betancourt, however, it was later confirmed that her name is Evelyn Alfonzo Alves. 

He is currently Surrey’s top-scorer with 677 Championship runs at 56.41 with a strike rate of 76.67. He earned two ODI caps against Ireland at the end of last summer and will slot in at No. 7 with Harry Brook returning to the No. 5 position having missed the India series following the death of his grandmother.

Ben Stokes slots between the pair at six, and is back to fulfilling his allrounder duties, which has allowed for the selection of Bashir.

After impressing with 17 wickets in India, England underlined their faith in the spinner by selecting him in the squad ahead of Jack Leach, despite the fact Bashir had to move on loan to Worcestershire for first-team opportunities with Leach the No. 1 spinner at Somerset.

Woakes adds to that balance as an option with the bat, and will likely be an ever-present this summer in what is set to be a transitional period for England with the impending retirement of James Anderson. (ESPNcricinfo)
