Family suspects foul play in death of Seafield coconut vendor

Dead: Clyde Benjamin

Although the death of Seafield, West Coast Berbice resident Clyde Benjamin has been ruled a drowning, his family remains suspicious that he was a victim of foul play since he was found on dry land and without his wallet.

Benjamin, also known as ‘Clyde Skeete’ and ‘Bungo’, 64, was a well-known coconut vendor who operated his business at Bourda Market on Tuesdays and Fridays.

He was found dead on the family’s coconut estate on the morning of August 6.
