PERSONS making their way to work in Linden yesterday discovered, at approximately 06:30hrs, the body of 49-year-old Andrew Dey, a Linden destitute, lying behind the car park with his head badly lacerated and a piece of wood and a bottle sticking out of his anus.

The Guyana Chronicle was reliably informed that Dey, who used to do odd jobs for persons in that Region 10 community, had had an argument with someone at the market place on Tuesday night; but since everyone had known him to be a non-confrontational destitute, everyone had ignored that incident. One person in the area said that Dey had usually been a quiet person who had avoided offending anyone.

Investigators are working on the theory that Dey had been murdered at the market place and his body was dumped by the car park.

They are also looking at the possibility that the argument which had started at the market place ended up at the car park, where Dey got into a physical exchange and was murdered.

The police confirmed late yesterday that nobody has as yet been arrested in relation to the matter, but they made it clear that intense investigations are still ongoing. (Leroy Smith)
