Police are treating the death of New Amsterdam welder Timothy Fraser as a murder after an autopsy found that he died as a result of blunt trauma to his head and two persons have since been held.
Fraser, 44, of Savannah Park Housing Scheme, New Amsterdam was discovered in the Mazaruni River on Sunday, just one day after he was reported missing.
On Wednesday, government pathologist Dr Nehaul Singh performed an autopsy on Fraser’s body and found that in addition to blunt trauma being the cause of death, he had died two days before he was reported missing.
