Relatives identify seawall victim

Dec 06, 2013 News

 

The man whose nude body was found on the Georgetown seawalls on Wednesday has been identified as 52-year-old Andrew Erskine of Lot 93 Subryanville.
Relatives identified the body yesterday at the Lyken Funeral Parlour.
A sister told Kaieteur News that her brother had been unemployed for several years, suffered from depression and had tried to commit suicide on several occasions. She said that her sibling was also in the habit of hanging out at the seawalls.
The woman said that she last saw Erskine at around 13:30 hrs on Tuesday. “I left for work and when I returned he was not there,” she said.  Esrkine’s relatives decided to check at the Lyken Funeral Parlour yesterday after learning that a body had been found at the seawalls.
She described her brother as an easy-going individual while expressing puzzlement about his apparently violent demise.
Erskine was found dead at around 12:00 hrs Wednesday on the Georgetown seawalls, in the vicinity of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Police Force. He was nude and his privates were missing. The body also reportedly bore other marks of violence.
A vagrant found the corpse and immediately informed the police. A source said that when the vagrant walked into the police station, ranks attempted to put him out, thinking it was a “joke” but after a senior officer intervened, two police ranks went to the scene.
