Owner of RK Security Roshan Khan has undertaken to take care of the funeral expenses of his employee who died of a gunshot wound on Friday night.

Relatives of Julian Edmond Embrack, who was discovered dead with a gunshot wound to his head on a road in the Diamond New Housing Scheme on Friday night, said Khan told them that he would also contribute to the wake.

A brother of Embrack, Leonard, told Stabroek News that he met his brother’s employer yesterday and Khan expressed sympathy as well as promised to take care of the funeral and contribute to the wake.

He said Khan said that he was awaiting the results of the post-mortem examination expected to be done on Embrack’s body tomorrow.  Leonard said the family is also waiting the autopsy results as they have many unanswered questions about his brother’s death and they want these answered. He said that as far as he knew the father of five did not have any major problem that would have led him to take his life.

The man, who was clad in his uniform at the time of his death, was discovered by a taxi driver around 10.30 pm on Friday.

The police in a press release had said that a .38 service revolver belonging to Embrack, along with four spent shells and one live round was found near his body, However, Leonard had said on Saturday that Embrack was in training at the security firm to carry a weapon and that he was unarmed.

Embrack was a Visiting Inspector at the security firm and Khan in a release on Saturday said that the man, who was employed with the firm in September last year, was reliable and dynamic. He described the man as one who displayed professionalism and one who worked beyond the call of duty and was also respectful to his superiors.
