Police in Regional Division Number 7 are probing the death of 56-year-old Rushik Ramkarran, known as ‘Crushal’, a labourer of Lot 37 Seventh Avenue, Bartica, whose decomposed body was found in his home yesterday.
Ramkarran’s 33-year-old niece of First Avenue, Bartica, had reported to the police that the now deceased man had not been seen in several days.
In response, a team of police ranks proceeded to the address. Upon arrival, they observed that the door, which was the only entrance into the house, was bolted from the inside and a reddish substance (suspected to be blood) was observed flowing down the stairs.
