Police appear to have reached a dead end in their investigation into the murder of 48-year-old lawyer’s clerk, Gregory ‘Wayne’ Frank, who was battered and strangled in his Kuru Kururu, Soesdyke/Linden home on August 2.
A senior police official said yesterday that no one is in custody. Police had initially detained four people, including a beverage vendor, who were all acquaintances of the victim.
A college of Frank’s had told Kaieteur News that the vendor sells beverages a short distance from the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts and that Frank would often visit his stand. The vendor would reportedly also visit Frank at his home.
Investigators appear to believe that Frank was robbed and murdered by individuals he knew.
Kaieteur News was told that the lawyer’s clerk was cautions about his safety, since there had been a number of burglaries in his neighbourhood. There was no sign of forced entry to his home.
Frank, who was a lawyer’s clerk with Attorney Abiola Wong-Inniss, for over ten years, was found lying face-down in a pool of blood in his single-flat concrete house at Kuru Kururu.
The premises was ransacked and several items, including Frank’s gold jewellery, television sets, and a laptop were missing. The killers appeared to have escaped through the back door, which was open. An electric drill and a black cap were found in the yard.
A post mortem revealed that he sustained compression injuries to the neck and blunt trauma to the head.
Frank’s stepfather, Rupert Patterson, who lives in another house in the same yard, discovered the body when he went over to Frank’s house to check on him.
