Man dies a day after being struck in head by drinking partner
Police on the West Coast of Demerara have detained a man who they suspect is responsible for the death of his drinking buddy, Mahendra Singh.
Singh’s motionless body was found around 05:30 hours yesterday at his Philadelphia, East Bank Essequibo home.
He was rushed to the Leonora Cottage Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
Police in a statement yesterday said that their investigations so far indicate that on Tuesday, Singh and another man were imbibing at a house at Zeeburg, West Coast Demerara when an argument developed and he was allegedly struck to his head with an object.
He went home without seeking medical attention and subsequently fell ill.
A post mortem examination will be performed on the body tomorrow and this will determine the way forward for the investigators.
