Elderly man found dead in home with fractured skull

An elderly man was found dead at his residence at Lot 241 Zeelugt, East Bank Essequibo (EBE), on Sunday morning. His family suspects foul play in his death.
Dead is 75-year-old Oudit Narine.
In an interview with one of the man’s relatives on Sunday, they said that Narine lived in a two-storey home, occupying the upper flat while his two close relatives resided in the lower flat.
According to the relative, Narine’s body was discovered on Sunday morning at about 09:00h, but it is believed that he has been dead for some time as his body was already decomposing.

According to the relative, the family received a call from concerned neighbours, who reported a foul odour emanating from Narine’s home. Upon arriving at the scene, they found his partially decomposed body in the bathroom, with the area covered in blood.
The relative described the position of the body, stating that Narine was found on his knees, resembling a prayer position.
Despite the strong stench coming from the upper part of the house, the relative said neither of the relatives that lived in the lower flat had checked on him. This raised suspicions among the family who are now alleging foul play.
The relative mentioned that Narine’s son provided conflicting information about the events leading up to his father’s death. Initially, they said the son claimed that they had cooked and eaten dinner together on Saturday.
However, the family member said they found this information inconsistent with the strong odour present in the house.
“We spoke to his son, he keeps saying different things. At one point he told me that he and his father cooked and had dinner on Saturday… the information he is giving us is conflicting. All the time his body was smelling in the house they claimed to have been there.”
Further, the family is allegedly that the son revealed that he and his father had been involved in a fight, displaying a bruised and discoloured mark on his arm as evidence.
Both Narine’s son and brother-in-law were arrested following the discovery of the body but were subsequently released. A post-mortem examination revealed that Narine had suffered a fractured skull due to blunt trauma to the head.
The family is now calling for a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding Narine’s death, hoping to uncover the truth behind the suspected murder. (G9)
