TWO men are currently in police custody and have confessed to the gruesome murder of 24-year-old Lawrence Raymond Benjamin called “Lil boy”.

Benjamin, of Ice House Road, Timehri, was stabbed and killed by two males on Sunday, April 5, 2020 at a shop in his village around 09:45hrs that day.
He was reportedly chased by his assailants. His body was discovered sitting in a white plastic chair with stab wounds to the neck and ribs. He was clad in a white vest and blue short pants.

Benjamin was last seen alive by his mother, Alexis Forde, on the same day in question around 06:00hrs, when he told her that she would be left crying for him.

Police investigation revealed that on March 31, 2020, Benjamin was arrested and placed in custody at the Timehri Police Station for threatening behaviour, language and assault committed on his foster father and others.

He was however released on April 4, 2020 and was expected to appear in court on April 7, but was killed before that time.

However, due to a collaborative effort among three divisions, the two suspects fingered in Benjamin’s death were arrested and have reportedly confessed to their involvement in the crime.
