Man found dead in trench identified as market trader
Bullet riddled body was found wrapped in a hammock in a trench two weeks after he went missing at Annandale.
A man found floating on Saturday in a canal behind Eastville, Annandale south has been identified as Mark Rutherford, a trader in the Stabroek Market.
His bullet-riddled body was wrapped in a multi-coloured hammock from the waist downwards leading to speculation that he had been killed elsewhere and his body taken to the canal and dumped there.
Rutherford, who lived somewhere in South Ruimveldt, was last seen by his relatives on November 4.
