CLIVE Lawrence Primus, 68, of Lot 46 D’Urban Street, Lodge, Georgetown, was, on Monday, found dead in a trench on Mandela Avenue, within the vicinity of Cevon’s building.

According to Police Headquarters, the Operations Room at Brickdam Police Station received a call at 07:30 hours that a body was in a trench along Mandela Avenue.

“The trench runs north to south and has weeds about three feet in height. The body was seen in the trench with the face down, clad in a black and red pants, brown and green stripe jersey. A grey colour bicycle was also in the trench,” police stated in a release.

According to the wife of the deceased, she and Primus separated and he was living with his brother at the above-mentioned address.

However, she was still communicating with him and he would visit her at her address, and she saw him Friday last.

She also indicated that the now-deceased man suffered from seizures and high blood pressure.

“Information received by the Police indicate that Primus left home on Sunday at about 17:00hrs on his bicycle for an unknown location and was never seen or heard from, until his body was found Monday morning,” police noted.

The body was processed by a rank attached to the Crime Scene Unit, C.I.D Headquarters, Eve Leary, and no marks of violence were seen.

The body was taken to the Memorial Gardens Mortuary, awaiting autopsy as investigations continue.
