East Street killing…Police seek motive for miner’s murder
Investigators are still trying to ascertain a motive behind the murder of gold miner, Bryan Dickson, 43.
Dead Bryan Dickson
Dickson was found murdered in his apartment shortly after lunch on Thursday after worried relatives went looking for him.
Dickson, also known as ‘Son Son’ and ‘Peck’ of East Street, Cummingsburg, was found gagged and lying on his back in his bedroom with more than 20 stab wounds about the body. A pair of scissors found nearby was presumed to be the murder weapon.
Yesterday, Dickson’s reputed wife, Sabrina Gobin, told Kaieteur News that she is still puzzled why someone would want to harm him. The woman said that she’s unaware of any ongoing feud between her husband and anyone.
Meanwhile police sources have said that they are yet to make any arrests. Relatives had told Kaieteur News that there was no sign of forced entry to the residence. The body was discovered by the dead man’s nephew, Jonathan. A number of relatives, who had gathered at the home, opined that Dickson had to have known his attacker.
One relative told Kaieteur News that nothing was stolen from the apartment. The relative said she did not believe that Dickson was keeping any substantial amount of money at home. Kaieteur News was told that Dickson, the father of two teenaged boys, had returned to Georgetown last November after he was involved in an accident.
Two neighbours, including an elderly woman, who lived in the upper flat of the apartment where Dickson’s body was found, were questioned. However none of them recalled hearing or seeing anything amiss.
