AYUBE Mazahar Ally, 46, was yesterday morning found hanging by a bag strap from the stairs of his Beterverwagting, East Coast Demerara home.
The father of two had recently moved into the Lot 166 Granville Park house in which his bloated remains was found, and was reportedly in the final stages of paying for.
According to information reaching the Guyana Chronicle, Mazahar Ally was last seen late last week, but there was no sign of him all weekend, nor on Monday.
It took a security guard who works at the gated community to use his initiative and run the log book, only to find that there was no record to show that Mazahar Ally either left or entered the premises.
Realising that something was not right, the guard next called the man’s house, but got no answer. And to compound matters, he was also getting a strange smell from the house, which is what prompted him to call the police at the Beterverwagting Police Station.
Police sources who visited the house where the incident took place explained that the man’s body was so badly decomposed, it was partly touching the stairs.
Also, the back door was open, as was the door to the verandah, which was how a police rank was able to access the premises, with the aid of a ladder.
Persons in the area yesterday afternoon told this publication that Mazahar Ally was not in the habit of communicating with other persons from the gated community.
Ayube Mazahar Ally worked as a pilot at several of the domestic air service providers at the Ogle Airport, but mostly with Air Services Limited, the owners of which he is related to. (Leroy Smith)
