Three held for watchman’s murder

Dec 22, 2009 News

Police have detained three men in connection with the murder of 40-year-old watchman, Trevor Simon, called ‘Neighbour Joe’ whose bound and battered body was found last Wednesday at a Sixth Street, Diamond, East Bank Demerara property he was guarding. A source said that two of the suspects are from Friendship, East Bank Demerara, and the third from Soesdyke.
There are reports that persons tipped off investigators that the three men attacked and killed Simon during an apparent burglary at the unfinished building.
Simon, of no fixed place of abode, was found dead around 16:00 hrs on Wednesday when the owner of the home went to visit the location.
His hands and feet were bound and a piece of cloth was tied around his mouth.
A post mortem revealed that he died of asphyxiation, compounded by blunt trauma to the head. The killers had broken into and ransacked a container on the premises while a bicycle that was recently bought for Simon was missing.
Residents said that Simon appeared to be destitute and lived on the property.
