A taxi driver is in custody and about five more persons are being pursued as police continue their investigations into the brutal murder of Lord Edwards, called Junior or Rastaman, of Edinburgh Village, East Bank Berbice.
Edwards died Thursday morning at Edinburgh Village, East Bank Berbice.  .
Edwards 43, formerly of King Street, New Amsterdam and said to be mentally unstable, was found dead in a pool of blood in a yard not too far from where he resided.
According to information the man had an altercation earlier in the morning with a taxi driver who had taken his car to a mechanic workshop in the village. Edwards allegedly went into his yard, picked up a piece of metal and charged the driver who allegedly sought refuge in the mechanic shop.
It is understood that the driver also had a knife. After a while the argument ended. It is understood that the deceased was later attacked by a group of men who entered his yard and slashed, stabbed and severely beat him.
The men were then seen by residents leaving the yard while concealing weapons in their waist. They were allegedly taken to the location by a car and also left by the same means heading towards New Amsterdam.
The now dead Edwards is said to have suffered injuries to his neck, forehead, chest, rib cage and other parts of his body.
The body is at the New Amsterdam Hospital. A post mortem examination is expected to be performed soon.
