An autopsy yesterday on the body of businessman, Fazal Hoosein, revealed that he died from drowning, indicating that he was bound and tossed into the Corentyne River while still alive.
However, an official said that because the remains were in an advanced state of decomposition, the pathologist was unable to detect other possible marks of violence.
On Friday, police stated that they had detained three people in connection with Hoosein’s murder.
The official also said that Suriname investigators had detained a speedboat captain.
It is unclear whether they are still in custody.
Hoosein was buried yesterday according to Muslim rites.
The businessman and nine other passengers, were returning from Suriname at around 17:45 hrs on Wednesday, when five masked gunmen overpowered them.
The men then forced Hoosein to accompany them, after relieving the other passengers of their mobile phones.
Hoosein’s body, bound hand and foot, was found the following day about four miles east of the Number 78 foreshore, which is also a short distance from the Suriname foreshore
Sources close to the slain man said that the gunmen made off with millions of dollars that Hoosein had in his possession.
Kaieteur News was told that the businessman travelled regularly to Suriname to sell gold.
