On April 16, neighbours found Hamid’s body lying at the back of his yard in a pool of blood. There were reportedly wounds to his left side chest and cheek.
The police were summoned and found that the deceased man’s firearm, cell phone and other items were missing. The businessman was taken to the East Demerara Regional Hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
