Two men in their early 20s have confessed to the murder of 76-year-old David Ramkissoon, who was found in his Betterhope, East Coast Demerara (ECD) home with his throat slit on August 21, last.

A police source said that detectives have been gathering intelligence for a while and decided to strike yesterday after gathering enough information.
The body of David Ramkissoon, aka “Shortman”, a father of five, was discovered in a pool of blood in the living room by his son, around 19:30 hrs on August 21, last.
His son had just returned home after spending the day at a creek on the Soesdyke/ Linden Highway with his family when he made the shocking discovery.
Investigations are ongoing.
