Victim died of hemorrhage due to multiple gunshot injuries

May 29, 2010 News

A post mortem examination performed on the remains of 36-year-old Sidwell Dexter Collins, called ‘Gold Teeth’, has revealed that he died as a result of hemorrhage due to five gunshot wounds.
The man’s remains have since been handed over to relatives for burial.
Police are yet to make an arrest but they are exploring several theories including the fact that Collins was recently a part of an identification during which he pointed out an armed robbery suspect.
On Tuesday last, the man was shot by a lone gunman who walked up to him and shot him five times. Collins was gunned down while standing on Camp Street outside the old Belvedere compound.
The man’s reputed wife told this newspaper that some time around 20:00 hours on Tuesday Collins left their South Turkeyen home after informing her that he was going to make routine security checks at some of his boss’s premises.
The woman said that it was customary for Collins to call her and he knew in advance that he would be late. She added that after not receiving any telephone call she went to bed.
According to the woman, around 06:15 hours on Wednesday she received a phone call from a friend who asked her if she heard what happen to her reputed husband.
“Me friend tell me that she see something in the newspaper saying that a Dexter Collins get shoot…and she ask if I hear from he”.
The distraught woman said that she began calling his cellular phone but she got no answer; the calls kept going to voicemail.
She added that as she continued to call, eventually someone answered the phone enquiring who she was to Collins.
Once she identified herself, she said that she was asked to make her way down to the Georgetown Public Hospital, where her worst fears were confirmed.
The woman said that she visited the hospital where she positively identified the bullet riddled body of her reputed husband.
