FORTY-four-year-old Liyan Jiang, a Chinese businessman of Tuschen, East Bank Essequibo was found dead in his home on Thursday night.
The Guyana Chronicle understands that the man was found by his friend and police around 22:00hrs in his bathroom with his hands tied behind his back and his mouth gagged.
A reliable source told this publication that the assailant(s) entered jiang’s home through the bathroom window.

Prior to him being murdered, sources say that he was playing games with friends online around 03:00 hrs Wednesday morning when he told them to “hold on” but he never returned.

So far nothing has been confirmed missing from his home but the idea of robbery is not being ruled out by investigators.
The man’s body was taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) and subsequently to the funeral parlour. The Guyana Police Force (GPF) confirmed that investigations are ongoing and the matter is being treated as a murder/robbery.
His neighbours said they were sleeping at the time of the incident and were made aware of what took place when they woke up.

The father of two reportedly moved to the area one month ago and was in the process of setting up his restaurant at the bottom flat of the house and a supermarket in the area. His wife, Liang Yuelan and children were left in Soesdyke, East Bank Demerara, awaiting the completion of the businesses.
Persons said they were shocked by what happened because the area is not prone to such crimes. They, however, pointed out that the attention of the police is needed in the area because crime has been on the rise over the past few months.
