Decomposing body found in Christianburg House

Jan 24, 2013 News

 

The body of a man was discovered by police late yesterday lying face down on the floor of a small wooden shack, at D’Anjou Hill, Christianburg, Linden. He was clad in pajamas and was shirtless. According to informed sources he was identified as Oscar Primo who was in his early thirties.
The Police were called in after neighbours were alerted by a ‘stench’ emanating from the shack.
A  neighbour, who said that the man, Oscar Primo was her husband’s nephew, said that she had gone to check on him yesterday after she had not seen him.
The woman said that she would check on Primo everyday, but that yesterday, when she went over, there was this terrible odor, so after knocking on the door several times and getting no response, she decided to call a neighbour, who called the Police.
However although the police responded shortly after, the body was not removed until much later as no hearse had accompanied them.
Persons who peeked into the shack, said that Primo’s body was in an advanced stage of decomposition, and flies were everywhere.
Several persons who knew the man expressed sadness at his passing. There were unconfirmed reports that he was feeling unwell recently and had gone to the hospital for a check up.
Primo reportedly lived alone, and was unemployed.
According to reports he had also suffered hearing loss, after receiving an injection for a medical condition, about a year ago.
Persons close to him said that he may have become depressed since the incident.
His father reportedly lives on the East Bank of Demerara, while his mother and other siblings reside overseas.
