According to reports, the man was last seen alive on Wednesday evening.
Based on information received, Melville was alone at his residence, and all doors to the premises had been secured from the inside.

The son immediately raised an alarm and the Police were contacted. Although there was no sign of forced entry, the Police have reported that the bedroom of the deceased was ransacked.
Up to press time, no arrests were made in connection with the murder. The Police are, however, searching the area for CCTV cameras in order to retrieve the footage.
