Kaieteur News understands that the building is owned by a Chinese national who is said to be in Suriname.

The security guard’s face was bloodied and his neck appeared to be broken. His hands and feet were tied and a piece of wood, which appeared to be the murder weapon, was found next to his body.
Family members and curious bystanders were shocked how Glasgow met his death.
