Farm arson/murder…Relatives still awaiting justice one month later
While it may seem as if investigators have reached a dead end in their investigation into the demise of former national boxer, Godfrey Alexander, called ‘Hell Fire’ relatives are hopeful that justice will be served.
On March 22, last, firefighters pulled Alexander’s charred remains from his burnt out house, at Farm Village East Bank Essequibo.
Around 5:00 hours that day firefighters were summoned to the area after two nearby houses were seen going up in flames. Both properties were owned by Alexander but one was unoccupied. Alexander occupied the upper flat of one while his two tenants occupied the bottom flat.
Yesterday, Selena Harris, the man’s daughter-in-law said that to date there has been no arrest and that they have been told that no information has been forthcoming from the community.
Harris said that she was informed by the police that since the incident they have tried relentlessly to get information from villagers but no information is good enough to work on.
Nevertheless the dead man’s relatives are hopeful that one day some information may lead investigators to Alexander’s killer.
However, investigators having concluded their investigation on the cause of the fire had announced that it was the work of an arsonist. The fire was first seen coming from one building and subsequently from Alexander’s home.
It was pointed out by investigators that the buildings were not close enough for the fire to spread and there was no sight that the fire caught onto the other building. Further, Alexander’s body was found in a fetal position with a large amount of cash. This publication was told that from all indication the man was trying to exit the burning building from a trap door which was in the flooring of the upper flat of the building.
There were reports that Alexander was involved in selling unsuspecting persons plots of land and then reselling them to other interested persons. The man had also reported to his relatives before his death that he was being pressured by persons into selling the two plots on which the two houses stood.
The man had also reported that he had a few strange occurrences with persons from the Regional Democratic Council in his area.
