Police have arrested a second suspect in connection with the murder of a supply chain manager attached to the Guyana Goldfields Inc.

The lifeless body of 42-year-old Neil Whyte of Suite 1608-141 Adelaide Street West, Toronto, Ontario, Canada was found on Monday night in an apartment at Thomas Street, North Cummingsburg, Georgetown.

The naked body bore several visible stab wounds to the neck. The body was taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital mortuary and is awaiting a post-mortem examination.

An ex-employee was arrested in the wee hours of Tuesday morning at his Vryheid Village, West Canje, Berbice home around 0630hrs in connection with the man’s death.

Police said the victim was staying at the upper flat of an apartment of a three-storey concrete building located on Thomas Street after returning from the hinterland on Monday.

Residents said that earlier in the night, the man came downstairs and told a friend that he will be meeting someone at the corner of Thomas and Middle Streets.

He subsequently returned to the building with an ex-employee, who later left. The guard at the premises, knowing that it is the protocol of the complex that a visitor of guest must be checked out of the building by the guest, later went up to the Whyte’s room and saw him lying in a pool of blood on the bed and appeared to be dead. He was naked and bound.
