A former employee of the Iskcon Hari Krishna Mandir is a suspect in the murder of watchman Jagdat Ramcharran, whose bound and gagged corpse was found at the Corentyne, Berbice site last Monday.
Kaieteur News understands that the detained man had also worked at the mandir as a watchman.
It is unclear why police have deemed him to be a suspect.
A source said that investigators have also questioned a number of other people, but have made no headway in the matter.
Ramcharran, 61, called ‘Ronald’ of Bloomfield, Corentyne, was found dead at around 03:00 hrs by a worshipper. It is believed that the killers used a strip of cloth to strangle the watchman. A post mortem conducted on Wednesday revealed that death was due to ligature strangulation. According to information, the worshipper arrived at the temple for his usual devotion. He found the gate locked and no one came to greet him as was customary. After making several calls and getting no response, he scaled the fence and found the watchman lying motionless on the ground with his hand and feet bound. The man immediately informed a senior member of the temple.
A bell, a pair of gold-coloured slippers, and a tape recorder were reportedly missing from the premises, which was in disarray.
The thieves had apparently entered the mandir by cutting and wrenching open a grilled window. They also wrenched open the door to the prayer centre.
Ramcharran had worked at the mandir for about three years.
