Kuru Kururu man died from compression injuries to the neck
Dead: Gregory ‘Wayne’ Frank
A post mortem done yesterday morning on 46-year-old Gregory ‘Wayne’ Frank, the man, who was discovered dead early Thursday morning at his Kuru Kururu, Linden Highway home, has shown that the man died as a result of asphyxiation due to compression injuries to the neck compounded by blunt trauma to the head.
The examination was conducted by Government Pathologist Dr. Nehaul Singh.
Frank, who was a lawyer’s clerk with Attorney Abiola Wong-Inniss, for over ten years, was discovered in his single-flat concrete house, which was one of two flat houses that stand 50 feet apart in the same yard. The other house is occupied by Frank’s stepfather, Rupert Patterson.
Mr. Patterson was the person who discovered Frank’s body. The man went over to check on Frank and found the back door ajar. On entering the house, the elderly man made the gruesome discovery, and called the police.
Frank’s body was found in his living room, face down, with his arms folded under him and his face tilted to the right. The lower part of the body lay on the carpet while the man’s upper body was on a tiled area, with coagulated blood around the head.
The body was clad in a grey jersey and dark blue underpants, the man still had on his socks.
Frank’s uncle, Kendrick McPhoy said the whole house was ransacked, with drawers pulled out and items strewn around as though someone was looking for something.
An electric drill and a black cap were found in the yard. These items seemed to have been dropped by the intruders. The uncle also claimed that he noticed a number of items that he knew belonged to Frank missing.
Up to press time, police had not made any arrests. Investigations are continuing.
