Tony Sulker, the 29-year-old police sergeant who became a prime suspect in the murder of lawyer Richard Layne after CCTV footage was viewed yesterday, died last night at the GPHC after ingesting poison.
On Wednesday, Layne was found dead in a locked car with a wound to his neck. Sulker, who lived with Layne in Century Palm Gardens, D’Urban Backlands had initially told police that he had found the body at around 10 pm. CCTV footage viewed by the police yesterday however contradicted this and it was after further questioning by the police that Sulker ingested poison and was rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPHC) where he died last night.
A post-mortem examination conducted yesterday on the body of Layne revealed that he died from a stab wound to the neck. Dr Nehaul Singh, performed a post-mortem examination with dissection on the body of Layne, 35. The body was identified by a cousin, Michael Harding, and brother, Ryan Layne.
