The two men who were held by police late last week in connection with the murder of Sharon Kunick, whose half-naked body was found just off the Stewartville foreshore, West Coast Demerara (WCD), were released yesterday afternoon.
Stabroek News understands that the men were instructed to report to the Leonora Police Station daily.
Kunick, who a post mortem revealed, died from blows to the head and neck, was laid to rest on Sunday.
One man, who relatives believe Kunick was going to meet on Tuesday night and who this newspaper understands is a soldier, turned himself over to the law enforcement authorities last Thursday. The other man was held just after he gave a statement to the police, the same day.
The 30-year-old mother of two was discovered around 9.30 am just off the foreshore with her hands bound at the wrists with duct tape and marks of violence on her head and neck.
When the Lot 55 De Kinderen, New Housing Scheme, WCD resident was found she was clad only in a black bra and a red vest but most of her chest was exposed. There was a gaping wound on her forehead.
No one in the area where the body was found reported hearing any unusual sounds during the night and it is suspected that the woman was killed elsewhere and her body dumped in the ocean. It appears that the body got caught in a groyne at the Stewartville foreshore.
Kunick was last seen alive just after 7 pm last Tuesday when she stopped at a roadside vendor not far from her home.
