Businessman found dead with bullet to head

-suicide suspected

A man died from a gunshot wound to the head yesterday afternoon at a Stevedore Scheme guesthouse in what is so far being ruled as a suicide.

Dead is Edmond Jonas, a forty-year-old businessman of 163 Stone Avenue, Campbellville.
Undertakers from Lyken’s Funeral Service removed the man’s body from the guesthouse at around 7 last evening.
A clearly visible wound was on the right side of the man’s head. 

Ranks of the Guyana Police Force were on the scene carrying out their investigations and workers from the guesthouse were tight-lipped as to what transpired earlier.

On learning of the man’s death, relatives broke down in grief and disbelief, some of them expressing that only on Sunday they were on a trip with him to Linden. At the man’s home, relatives were inconsolable.
