Body found outside National Stadium
By Rustom Seegopaul
The body of 32-year-old Edward Bryan Lewis was discovered on the road just outside of the Guyana National Stadium in the early hours of yesterday morning.
Kaieteur News understands that the man was reportedly seen by his neighbours at the Grow More food festival on Saturday night.
Police have launched an investigation to ascertain what transpired between when he was seen at the food festival and when his body was discovered.
Meanwhile, Lewis’s mother, Mangree Lewis, confirmed that he was out ‘sporting’ in Herstelling on Saturday night, but she said she is unsure as to what exactly happened to her son. She explained that, at approximately 6:00 hours yesterday morning, she was summoned by a police sergeant to the Providence Police Station. She explained that her daughter, accompanied by a neighbour, went to the police station.
She assumed that Lewis had gotten himself into some sort of trouble during the night, as he usually consumes alcohol; but when she asked her daughter on her return from the station if, “Edward dead?” she was only met with silence. The silence, she said, confirmed her worst fears.
Lewis’s mother said that she is positive that there was foul play involved.
Meanwhile, other residents of the Herstelling area have opined that Lewis was involved in some sort of road accident.
While the Police do not have any leads as to what happened to Lewis, a source told Kaieteur News that Lewis had a wound to his head and that his left forearm was broken. There were no shards or fragments of glass or plastic on the road where Lewis’s body was recovered, which, to some extent, rules out a hit-and-run accident, according to the source.
However, taxi drivers who were in the area of the National Stadium on Saturday night believe that Lewis was the victim of a road accident.
One passenger related to this newspaper that a driver told him as he was leaving the Grow More food festival “Watch a man geh knock down ova deh.”
