– autopsy

AN autopsy done on Ronald Armstrong, who was found on the Diamond Public Road, East Bank Demerara, in the vicinity of Demerara Distillers Limited (DDL) on November 9th, revealed that he died of hemorrhage and shock due to multiple blunt and sharp injuries to the neck and head.

Reports indicate that Armstrong, who was initially unidentified when he was found, was picked up by an ambulance and taken to the Diamond Diagnostic Centre where he was examined by a doctor. He died while receiving medical attention.

A security guard nearby had called the police after she noticed the body on the roadway while taking over a new shift from a colleague.

At that time, the police were treating the case as a fatal accident since the man’s body had bruises associated with a road accident, but the autopsy proved that Armstrong was murdered.

Reports indicate that the man’s reputed wife was taken into police custody for questioning as investigations continue.
