Bruised body of De Willem man found in alleyway

Residents of Meten-Meer-Zorg on the West Coast of Demerara (WCD) were left reeling by the tragic news of a man’s death, which surfaced in their community on Sunday morning.
Sunnyramperal Persaud, known as ‘Papo’ by friends and family, was found lying lifeless in a crouched position on the concrete pathway next to a fence along Kastev Street in Meten-Meer-Zorg, WCD. Persaud, a 51-year-old unemployed man, who resided at Lot 61 De Willem, WCD, was discovered by a 56-year-old woman who was on her way to church, around 7:40h.
Shocked and distraught by the discovery, the woman immediately alerted her husband, who quickly summoned the Police.
Upon arriving at the scene, investigators were confronted with a grisly sight. Persaud’s body bore telltale signs of trauma, including black-and-blue marks on the stomach area, and bruises to the lower back, the lower left side of the abdomen, and the right elbow.
A detective on the scene examined and photographed the body, while a relative of Persaud confirmed that he had struggled with alcoholism.
The Police are currently investigating the circumstances surrounding his death, and are appealing to anyone with information on what might have happened to the man to come forward.
