Investigators are in the process of tracing Andy Williams’ last movements before his death, Regional Commander Assistant Commissioner Simon McBean said.
Contacted for an update yesterday afternoon, McBean told Stabroek News that the investigation is still in its early stages.
“We are continuing our investigation……..We don’t have a suspect. We are in process of tracing the deceased’s steps and taking statements to find out what led to his death,” he said.
Williams, a resident of Lot 136 Zeeburg, WCD was last seen alive on June 6th.
His body was discovered in a trench by residents of Tarla Dam last Monday afternoon. At the time, the body was clad in a burgundy jersey, blue pants with white stripes and a pair of black socks.
Williams’ body was positively identified by a relative on Sunday morning.
A post-mortem examination on Monday confirmed that he was murdered.
McBean had previously told Stabroek News that the police are treating the case as a murder since the autopsy showed that Williams died as a result of blunt force trauma to his head.
This newspaper understands that Williams and his family resided in neighbouring Venezuela for a number of years. Reports revealed that several months ago, Williams returned to Guyana in search of a job in order to maintain his wife and children.
He later began working with a relative along the East Coast of Demerara (ECD).
Williams, this newspaper learnt, initially stayed at another relative’s place on the West Coast of Demerara. However, he subsequently took up residence at the relative’s place at ECD to avoid having to travel on a daily basis.
As a result, when he did not return on home on June 6th, relatives were not worried.
Williams was laid to rest yesterday.
