Identification of Jamaican victim delays autopsy

THE post mortem to be performed on the Jamaican woman who was found lifeless in a hotel room last January 22 has been delayed.Crime Chief Seelall Persaud explained, yesterday, that police are in the process of contacting the victim’s relatives in Jamaica, to have them make an identification of the corpse before the autopsy can be done locally.

He pointed out that no one in Guyana knows the deceased and, without an identification of the body, the examination cannot be done.
Following the murder of Beverley Anesta Gardner, Guyana Police, on Thursday, issued a wanted bulletin for Anthony Lloyd Neville Morrison, another Jamaican they want to question.
The dead Gardner was discovered in New York Car Wash & Hotel, Camp and Princes Streets, Georgetown, on January 22.
The 31-year-old woman had been a guest there when staffers made the discovery and close circuit television (CCTV) aided the Police in acquiring vital footage of the suspect’s identity.
