POLICE reported yesterday that the body of 53-year-old, Seepaul Beharry, who did not have a place of abode, but could be found by a shop near the public road at Market Street, Grove, EBD, where he assisted villagers in fetching their bags for a small fee, was found at about 08:00 hrs at Market Street, Grove, with suspected stab wounds to the throat and abdomen.

The general opinion of Beharry’s relatives and Grove residents is that his murder was uncalled for, since he had not been a trouble-maker, but was well known in the area, and ‘limed’ on a bench by the market, where several shops do business and taxi drivers ply their trade; in the same area where his body had been found.
A woman who spoke to the Guyana Chronicle said the unmarried Beharry used to roam the area, and although he used to drink alcohol, he had not been a bother to anyone.
She added that, in periods of excessive rainfall, he would spend the night at the residence of her family in Grove, where he slept on a bench in the yard.
The woman added that although Beharry’s brother who had resided at that residence had passed away, he would still visit, and had not been a bad person.
She opined that he had not been murdered for anything of value; since he used to do odd jobs, and would consume alcohol with the money he was paid.
A taxi driver said Beharry was quite harmless, and his brutal death was most cruel. He said that after Beharry’s body had been removed from the scene, his liming bench was torn down.
It is believed that Beharry was killed because he had seen something he was not supposed to see, or had been in the wrong place at the wrong time in the opinion of his killer(s).
Beharry’s body is awaiting a post-mortem at the Lyken Funeral Parlour in the city.
