Surinamese law enforcement is investigating the death of a 52-year-old Guyanese national, whose body was discovered earlier this week after he was reported missing on June 24.
Alie Azeam’s death, suspected to be a result of foul play, has prompted a probe and two persons were arrested.
According to reports from Suriname, Azeam was reported missing by a family member at the Lelydorp police station last month, sparking an investigation by the Major Crimes Department of Suriname. This led to the apprehension of two suspects, who are currently in police custody.
Surinamese police have confirmed that the circumstances surrounding Azeam’s death strongly indicate homicide, although specific details have not yet been disclosed to the public.
“The investigation into Alie Azeam’s death is ongoing,” stated a spokesperson for the Surinamese police. “Our teams are diligently working to gather more evidence and establish the exact chain of events that led to this tragic incident.”
Azeam’s family in Guyana has been informed of the news, and they are reportedly cooperating with Surinamese authorities.
