A PENSIONER has been arrested for killing his 55-year-old brother and dumping his body in a trench after a drunken altercation on Back Street, Den Amstel, West Coast Demerara (WCD) on Thursday.
Dead is Winston Jordan of Back Street Den Amstel, West Coast Demerara. His 65- year-old brother was arrested and remains in custody as investigations into the murder continue.

According to reports, the two brothers were consuming alcohol on Thursday when Jordon left the company of his brother.
“The suspect then followed, caught up with him a short distance away and held on to him trying to pull him. The deceased; however, held on to a neighbour’s gate but the suspect continued to pull him during which he lost his grip on the gate, after which the suspect pushed him to the ground, resulting in the victim hitting his head on the road and losing consciousness,” police said.

The suspect, police said, then dragged Jordon across the street where he threw him into a trench and refused to render assistance.
The motionless body of the man was pulled from the trench by two passersby who saw what had transpired.
The victim was escorted to the Leonora Cottage Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
The body is at the Ezekiel Funeral Home awaiting an autopsy.

At the aforementioned address relatives were reluctant to speak about anything which occurred, noting that they do not know exactly what happened between the two brothers.
