Murdered: Tyrone France
France’s body was discovered on Monday morning along the road shoulder at Heathburn Village, East Bank Berbice, and an autopsy performed thereon by Government Pathologist Dr Vivekanand Bridgemohan on Friday determined the cause of death as asphyxiation and resulting from multiple injuries. France had been known to the police, having been convicted of narcotics’ possession.
Police had arrested three persons with whom France had last been seen hours before the discovery of his corpse. The quartet had been at a bar-b-que activity held in Glasgow New Housing Scheme, EBB.
Police Regional Commander, Senior Superintendent Shivpersaud Bacchus, has told reporters there is a primary and a secondary scene. He referred to the location where the quartet had been imbibing as the primary scene.
“It is believed that the incident would have taken place at the primary (location), and then it moved to the secondary location, where the victim’s body would have been found,” Commander Bacchus explained.
Two other persons had been taken into custody on Tuesday, but the Police have said on Friday evening that the five suspects who had initially been arrested have been released, and two siblings are now in custody assisting detectives with the investigations. (G-4)
