As a result, he sustained multiple severe injuries, causing his body to be extensively broken,” police reported. Thereafter, upon ranks arrival, Singh’s body was discovered motionless, slumped over with the described piece of concrete on top of him.
The body was transported subsequently to the Skeldon Public Hospital, where it was examined by Dr. Azeez, who pronounced Singh dead on arrival. The body is currently at the Skeldon Public Hospital Mortuary, awaiting a post-mortem examination. The investigations are ongoing. Meanwhile, Singh’s neighbour described him as being a very helpful and friendly person.”
