The lifeless body of a vagrant was found on Thursday evening at the corner of Water and Holmes Streets in Georgetown, and the dead man has been identified as 49-year-old Edward Bramnarine, also known as Eddy.
Reports are that a female vendor told detectives that she was on her way home at about 23:20h on Thursday when she observed Bramnarine, whom she had known for over 18 years, lying motionless on the street with blood oozing from a suspected stab wound to his left side chest. No one was around, so she immediately contacted the Ambulance Service, which promptly responded to the report. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police found Bramnarine lying on his back with what appeared to be blood stains on his clothing and on the ground next to his body. They
subsequently found one stab wound to his chest and a cut to his right wrist. An investigation has been launched into the suspected murder.
