Postmortem confirms Berbice cane-harvester died from fractured skull
Troy Liverpool, the cane harvester who died around 00:15hr on Friday, days after being struck down by a policeman on the Corentyne died from a fractured skull and internal bleeding in the brain.
Dead: Troy Liverpool
This was confirmed yesterday during an autopsy by Government Pathologist, Dr. Nehaul Singh.
Kaieteur News understands that Liverpool’s brain was swollen and the bleeding was excessive.
Liverpool, 38, of Lot 22 Queen Street, Courtland Village, Corentyne was reportedly struck from behind while walking with the mother of his child on the Fyrish Public Road in Berbice. The driver was identified as Inspector Michael Grant, who is also a prosecutor on the Upper Corentyne.
There are reports that after the accident, Grant attempted to drive away but was stopped by angry onlookers, who forced him to return to the scene. The officer was placed under close arrest and the day before Liverpool passed away, he was transferred to the Brickdam Police Station.
According to Liverpool’s family members, neither the police officer nor his family ever visited them and offered their condolences.
Ann Crandon, the dead man’s aunt, and other reliable sources claimed that the rank was transferred to the Brickdam Police Station and is working “General Duty.”
However, when Kaieteur News contacted the Police Commissioner, Leroy Brumell for a comment, he said “Police don’t fire officers just like that.”
According to Brumell, the matter is being investigated and when the investigation is completed a file will be sent to the Director of Public Prosecution for advice.
