RELATIVES of 53-year-old Kenrick Trim, a taxi driver of Belfield Housing Scheme, East Coast Demerara whose lifeless body was found on Wednesday in what appeared to be a robbery, are calling for the perpetrator(s) to be swiftly brought to justice.
Speaking with the Guyana Chronicle via telephone on Thursday, the man’s daughter, Kendrea Trim, said that her father had left home on Wednesday morning around 07:00 hrs to go about his daily work routine, only to be alerted about the unfortunate incident a few hours after.

She noted that her father’s battered body was discovered at Block 1, Ogle, Pradoville.
It is suspected that the father of four was robbed and killed, since a gold chain and ring that he was wearing could not be found at the crime scene.
However, the car which he drove was found close to his body.
“All we know right now is that he was robbed in Pradoville at the back, and he was stabbed several times,” Kendrea said. “I just want them to catch the person or persons, so they can face some further judgement,” she added.

The young woman said that while her father was not a very social person, he was an easy-going and kind-hearted individual, who did his best to make everyone around him laugh.
According to the young woman, the police have since related that the crime may have been caught on surveillance cameras around the area, and that as such the ranks assigned to the case are checking through the footage to uncover what occurred.
According to a police report, Trim’s body appeared to have been dumped from a silver-gray Toyota Premio motorcar bearing registration number HC5311, which was parked a short distance away from where the body was discovered.
The body was identified to be Trim’s by his son, Odel Trim. The man’s cadaver was escorted to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC), where the doctor on duty verified that he was indeed dead.

The body was then taken to the Lyken Funeral Home for a post mortem as police investigations continue.
