Montrose man found dead in alleyway

PHILLIP Ketwaru, 58, of 34 Montrose Seawall Road, East Coast Demerara, was, on Sunday morning, found dead in an alleyway at Atlantic Garden, near to a property where he worked as a handyman.

Ketwaru showed up for work at the location early in the morning and reportedly complained of feeling unwell and was later seen laying in the yard on a ply board making strange sounds.
He was told by is employer to go home.

The Guyana Chronicle was told that Ketwaru reportedly decided to exit the property by jumping one of its fences which lead to the alleyway.
There he reportedly died. On discovery of his body, his employer immediately contacted his (Ketwaru) family.
“He drive and tell my mother that the man fall down and he want we to come pick him up to take him to the hospital so she said the children are not home and she called my brother and when we arrived about one hour after, we asked him where our father was and he said, look he lay down on the alleyway there,” Kaman Ketwaru, a son of the dead man said.

The employer was questioned by police as relatives of the dead man believe that he was thrown into the alleyway by his employer.
One woman said she heard the strange sounds early Sunday morning but when she looked outside she saw nothing. It was not until hours after that she saw someone was in the alleyway after residents came out and summoned the police.
The wife of the employer denied any wrong doing by her husband and related that the handyman usually displayed signs of a person who is of unsound mind.
