Hog Island farmer suffocated, bludgeoned to death – PME reveals

A post-mortem examination of the body of 36-year-old Romeo Randolph, also known as “Fine Boy” of Hog Island, Essequibo River, revealed that he was suffocated and then bludgeoned to death.

The examination was performed on the body by Dr Nehaul Singh at the Ezekiel Funeral Home. So far, no one has been arrested and Police are pursuing several lines of inquiry.
Randolph, who was reported missing since Thursday last, was found floating in the Essequibo River on Sunday morning. His sister-in-law had told Guyana Times that based on what they were told when Randolph was found, his head was in a bag that had been tapped to his neck.
She also said that his body was tied to his boat’s engine, which was at the bottom of the river.
Randolph was last heard from on Thursday around 15:00h. Reports are he had left his Tuschen, West Coast Demerara (WCD) home on Thursday morning and travelled to Hog Island to conduct business but never returned.
She added that on Thursday night when he was supposed to have returned home, efforts to contact him proved futile.
On Friday morning, the man’s family received a call from another farmer, that he had seen Randolph’s boat somewhere in the river floating.
Upon arriving at the area, Randolph was not seen, according to his family. Two days later, the family was informed that his decomposed body was found floating in the Essequibo River.
His body was taken to the Leonora Cottage Hospital where he was officially pronounced dead. (G9)
