The dead man’s niece, Merlyn told Stabroek News yesterday that she was unable to visit the area where he was found but was told that it was in front of a grocery shop. She said that she was made to understand that it was a truck that hit her uncle and though he was alive he was not taken to the hospital.
According to her, from all appearances he was heading to the shop to buy items since there was money in his pocket.
The body is presently at the Best Mortuary.
