Former NFA executive murdered
– Bludgeoned, stabbed in head, chest and shoulder
The body of Fiesal Ferose ‘Robert’ Ali, the former Deputy Leader of the National Front Alliance (NFA), and one of the chaperones of celebrated Guyanese boxer, Andrew ‘Six Head’ Lewis, was discovered yesterday morning at approximately 09:00 hours at his (Ali’s) Lot 179 Fifth Street, Mandela Avenue home, in Alexander Village.
Dead: Fiesal Ferose Ali
The brutalised body, which lay on Ali’s bloodstained bed, bore a single stab wound to the chest and others to the left shoulder and left arm. Ali also sustained a blow to the back of the head, apparently made by the blunt force of a hammer.
The police are awaiting the results of the post mortem examination.
The apparent murder weapons, a bloodied knife and a hammer, were discovered on a table just next to the bed. A receipt book was also noticed tucked beneath one of the pillows on the blood soaked bed.
A metal vase was also seen knocked over, just outside of the door to Ali’s room.
The discovery of Ali’s body was made by a taxi driver, identified only as ‘Junior’, who reportedly came to see Ali concerning some money which Ali owed him. When Junior got to the house, he was reportedly told that Ali was asleep.
Nonetheless, Junior entered Ali’s room and saw the body, and rushed out and got a neighbour to come, saying that Ali did not look well. When the neighbour came and saw the body, the police were summoned.
In the house at the time of the murder was Ali’s retarded brother, Imran Ali, who has difficulty communicating with other persons. At the time of the murder, Imran was reportedly locked in his room, which is just next to his brother’s room.
At the same time, two young men, believed to be in their early 20s, who are said to frequent the house, have reportedly gone missing. It was also reported that at least one of the two men in question has reportedly stolen from Ali before.
Neighbours noted that they had not seen him since Monday evening, fuelling their suspicions that the murder may have taken place soon after then. Residents of the area did not report hearing any unusual noises, or seeing anything unusual right up to the time the body was discovered.
The house was to some extent untouched, and the only thing which was reportedly taken was Ali’s personal computer.
The body being removed by undertakers
Ali conducted many different types of business, the latest of which involved selling wooden sculptures. A number of these sculptures were seen in the dead man’s house.
Since Ali lived a private life, except for when he entertained his neighbours in times of plenty, it is unknown whether he had any money on his person when he was robbed, but a neighbour explained that since he marketed his sculptures, he probably had a fair amount of cash, probably in US dollars, on him.
Just last weekend he sold a piece called “Princess”.
Upon hearing of his death, residents of the area descended upon the house, in disbelief that Ali had been slain. He was described as a man of the community, always willing to help people in any way he could.
PNCR Member of Parliament and shadow Minister of Water and Housing and Leader of the NFA, Keith Scott, expressed his condolences to Ali’s relatives and members of his immediate family.
He also expressed the hope that justice will be dispensed quickly and effectively by the police.
Reports of Ali’s death reportedly sent shockwaves through the wider sporting community, as Ali was well known as one of Andrew ‘Six Head’ Lewis’s chaperons.
Ali was previously married to a woman in Suriname and reportedly has a son who resides in Holland. The rest of his immediate family is overseas, in Canada and Trinidad and Tobago.
They were informed of his demise and are heading to Guyana.
