According to information reaching the Guyana Chronicle, the man works mostly in the nights and moments before his body was discovered with the fatal injuries, he had left the Tuschen car park with a load of passengers.
His young son, 16-year-old Majeed Hasim told this publication that he last saw his father earlier in the night when he was dropped home by him. The young man said that he then went into his bed and was awakened at approximately 23.30 hours by his mother who informed him that his father was dead.
The man’s body was found on the parapet with his car keys in his hands according to relatives who showed up at the scene after receiving word of the incident. They said that when they arrived at the scene the man’s entire clothing was covered in blood.
The man’s daughter related that a young man called at the house telling them something had happened to her father and when they arrived at the scene the man was motionless with his eyes opened and his car keys in his hands.
The young lady said that she kept calling out to her father but was getting no response and persons on the scene related to her that he was dead. She said that the police told her that the incident looked as if it was robbery related.
Hasim is separated from his wife with whom he has eight children and is living with another woman while his wife is living with another man. The two have been separated for about five years now.
A relative of the woman, whom the now dead man is living with, told the Chronicle that someone hired the man and took him to a lonely street in the housing scheme and committed the act. However the man managed to flee from his attacker(s) and made his way to a friend in the same street where he was being attacked and asked that he be taken to the hospital after relating what happened.
However unconfirmed reports suggest that he persons refused to take the man to the hospital stating that the matter was a police one and that they did not want to get into a police story hence they left him outside and he died on the parapet in front of their home.
Another version to that part of the incident suggested that the man made his way to the home of the friend to seek help after he was attacked but when he arrived the friend nor his family was at home since they were at a birthday party somewhere else in the village and when they returned they found him lying on the parapet.
The man’s vehicle was found on another corner and up to late yesterday the vehicle was impounded at the Leonora Police Station.
