POLICE “C” Division personnel are actively seeking to apprehend persons responsible for the ‘crucifixion’ and murder of Nigel Low of Joe Singh Street, Sophia, Georgetown, whose nude body was discovered at just after 06:00hrs yesterday strapped to a Guyana Power and Light pole on the busy “B” Field, Sophia access road near Lane Drive.

The man’s hands were tied above his head, whilst his feet were bound with cement slings. Chop wounds and other contusions were visible on his head, feet, hands and back.
Persons making the discovery immediately raised an alarm, and residents from all parts of Georgetown instantly converged on the site to behold one of the most gruesome murders to have taken place in recent times.
This newspaper was told that the man, who had been a coconut vendor in a section of Georgetown, might have been in his late 30s. Speaking with this publication, a source close to the investigation explained that, following the discovery, persons living in the area contended that the man would usually steal from persons within the Sophia community, and would always evade capture and being turned over to police custody, since he always manages to slip away, or is never caught “red handed”, as was allegedly the case in the wee hours of yesterday morning.
The man was allegedly caught by some home owners attempting to cart off their assets; and it was later allegedly discovered that he had earlier burgled the homes of several other persons in the community.
Up to press time last evening, investigators had questioned several persons whom they believed may have information in relation to the death of the man. Among those questioned were those who had claimed that their homes had been burgled. However, it was not clear if anyone has been detained.
Persons, who converged on the scene after the discovery had been made, opined that, despite the many crimes the man had allegedly committed, the persons responsible for his horrible demise had no right to treat him in that savage manner, because he was a human being. Others predicted that the entire incident would affect the man’s surviving family members, because, while he allegedly had been a bother to some, he had been loved by others.
