CRIME Chief, Seelall Persaud has said the police are a step closer to having performed the post-mortem on the late Jamaican national Beverley Anesta Gardner, whose body was discovered in a room at the New York Car Wash & Hotel on Camp and Princes Streets, Georgetown on January 22.The 31-year-old woman had been a guest at the hotel when employees made the discovery of her demise, and close circuit television (CCTV) had aided the police in acquiring vital footage of the suspect’s identity.

The police have reportedly made contact with the woman’s relatives overseas, and they are scheduled to travel to Guyana to positively identify the body, after which a post-mortem would be performed to determine the cause of her death.

Persaud pointed out that no one in Guyana had known the dead woman, and without such knowledge the examination could not have been conducted.

The Guyana Police have issued a wanted bulletin for Jamaican national, Anthony Lloyd Neville Morrison as a person they want to question in connection with Gardner’s death. (Michel Outridge)
