Relatives of Julian Edmond Embrack, who was discovered with a gunshot wound to his head on a road in the Diamond New Housing Scheme on Friday night, yesterday said that they are awaiting answers from the police and the man’s employer RK Security.

“We are just like you, looking for answers. We don’t know what happened,” a sister of the man said yesterday when Stabroek News visited his Guyhoc Park home.

Police on Saturday said a man has since been taken into custody in relation to Embrack’s death and according to reports the man also works with the security firm.

Yesterday police would offer no further information while officials of the security firm remain tight-lipped but some did suggest that the man may have taken his own life.

The man’s sister when asked if he was having any problems that may have caused him to commit suicide said: “He was having problem like any normal person, everybody gets problem from time to time.” She said the father of five left his home on Saturday morning and according to his wife there was nothing strange about his behaviour when he left.

“But people can leave and you don’t know what is in their heads,” the woman said. She said the family is hoping to get some answers about the man’s death. She said they are yet to receive any official word from the security firm and its owner Roshan Khan has not made contact with them.

The man, who was clad in his uniform at the time of his death, was discovered by a taxi driver at around 10:30 pm on Friday. The police in their release had said that a .38 service revolver belonging to Embrack, along with four spent shells and one live round was found near his body, However, a brother of the man had said on Saturday that he was in training at the security firm to carry a weapon and that he was unarmed.

Embrack was a Visiting Inspector at the security firm and Khan in a release on Saturday said that the man, who was employed with the firm in September last year, was reliable and dynamic. He described the man as one who displayed professionalism and one who worked beyond the call of duty and was also respectful to his superiors.
