… Stabroek Market grenade explosion

Up to press time yesterday police were still not able to ascertain the identity of the man who was killed in the grenade explosion at the Stabroek Market area.
They were reports circulating that the man was identified as one William Brotherson.
However no one has since come forward to make that identification.
Also later yesterday afternoon a family, in the company of police ranks, turned up at the Lyken Funeral Home to ascertain if the dead man was their relative.
A woman, Beryl Sealy, said she had reason to believe that the man was her nephew, Troy Hollingsworth. However another relative who was at the funeral home was adamant that the man was not his nephew.
The man, Colin Bostwick, said the dead man appears to be taller than his nephew. He said that his sister said that it was their nephew as the man had a cut in his hand identical to that of their nephew.
Bostwick said that since the incident he has not seen his nephew who operates in the Stabroek Market area doing odd job but still believed that the dead man was not his nephew.
However while the relatives were assisting police at the Brickdam Police Station, Bostwick received a telephone call from another relative who told him that his nephew had made telephone contact with other relatives and indicated that he was alive and well.
At around 10:30 hours on Wednesday, a grenade detonated in the vicinity of the Stabroek Market. One man, identified only as ‘American’, was killed and 19 were injured.
