Stabbed to death: Lawrence Benjamin

He was last seen alive by his mother at her Lot 50 Ice House Road home, in Timehri.
When contacted, Regional Commander, Senior Superintendent Kurleigh Simon stated that “we don’t have the facts on how he received his injuries but what we know is that he was found under a shed sitting in a chair with stab wounds.”
