PRISON ESCAPEE Hassan Atwell, 41, has been killed.

Reports are that Atwell was not killed by police, but by members of a gang, according to the Trinidad Express.

Atwell was shot multiple times in the back and about the body at Calgary Hill, Port of Spain and his bullet riddled body was found by police around 12:30 this morning.

Atwell was said to be unarmed. Pictures of his bloody body were posted on social media.

The images show Atwell slumped in the ground with bullet holes on his back and head.

On Friday, Atwell together with 42-year-old Allan “Scanny” Martin, one of the men on trial for the kidnap and murder of Xtra Foods CEO Vindra Naipaul-Coolman and Christopher “Monster” Selby, 30 escaped from the Port of Spain prison.

Martin was shot dead in a shoutout with police.

Atwell had a string of charges against him, including kidnapping, possession of a firearm, robbery and sexual assault.

Selby, who remains at large, is facing two charges of murder unrelated to the murder of Naipaul-Coolman. (Express/SAT)
