Police are investigating the murder of security guard Mahendi Hussein, 65 years old, of Rampoor Settlement, Corriverton, whose body was found at about 05:45 hours yesterday in the guard hut at the Skeldon Modernisation Project.
Hussein’s body bore marks of violence to the head, which strongly suggests that he was clubbed to death.
A piece of wood suspected to be the murder weapon has been recovered by the Police.
In a telephone interview with this newspaper, Halima Hussein, the dead man’s wife, said that he had started out on the job only on Saturday.
She said that she was at work cleaning a nearby nursery school when the Police came to her with the dreadful news.
“They tell me close up the school and come and identify your husband. I tell them, ‘no man, me husband can’t dead’,” the woman recalled.
But when the Police called her husband’s nickname she was almost certain that something terrible had happened to him.
When she arrived at the Skeldon guard hut, she saw her husband lying dead.
Police say that a man has been arrested and is in Police custody assisting with the investigations.
Kaieteur News understands that the suspect was seen with the dead man’s bicycle.
