Barry Outar, a 56-year-old resident of Sand Road, Soesdyke, who was reported missing on Wednesday, was found dead on Friday morning in the vicinity of a farm on the East Bank of Demerara.
According to a family member, who spoke with Guyana Times on Saturday, Outar lived alone and had left his home on Tuesday to work on a poultry farm but never returned home. The family only became aware of his disappearance on Wednesday.
Concerned for his well-being, the family initiated a search on Wednesday and Thursday, but unfortunately, it yielded no results. However, during a search on Friday morning, Outar’s lifeless body was discovered not far from his workplace.

Relatives told this publication that he was found in what appears to be an apparent suicide. However, they raised concerns about possible foul play, as marks of violence were allegedly observed on the body.
“The way he was found, there was no way he did that to himself. There was no sign of struggle, and it looked like someone murdered him and moved him from where he was working to make it look like he did that to himself,” the relative said.
The relative also mentioned that a post-mortem examination is scheduled for today, and they hope it will reveal the truth behind the man’s death.
“He already died, and we are hurt because of how he died, but we want the truth because we know that is not how he died. He was found with marks of violence,” the relative said.
The Police have launched an investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death.
