A post-mortem performed yesterday on the body of Dinesh Harrylall, 20, of Number 11 Village, West Coast Berbice, revealed that he died from cerebral haemorrhage and multiple fractures. Harrylall died at a friend’s home on Monday, February 17, at about 00:01hr.

Commander Brian Joseph of the Police ‘B’ Division has said that the suspect, who remains in police custody, is expected to appear in court today (Thursday).

Sleuths have said that Harrylall had been involved in an argument with another man over a sum of money at D’ Edward Village, West Coast Berbice when he was stabbed and struck in his head with a rolling pin. Harrylall was pronounced dead on arrival at the Fort Wellington Hospital.

His father has said that his son had left home to visit a close friend at the friend’s home after receiving a telephone call, and that he had dropped off his son at that friend’s home. He had been awakened from sleep after midnight by the honking of a vehicle’s horn, only to be informed that ‘something had happened’ to his son. He journeyed to the location, and was confronted with the sight of his son’s lifeless body lying in a pool of blood. His son had been severely beaten with a rolling pin, and had been stabbed several times.

The father has said that his son had gone to the friend’s house to collect some jewels he had loaned the friend, and he is uncertain of the events that had transpired there.
