—was in North Road trench since Wednesday

By Heppilena Ferguson

The partly decomposed head of Farouk Kalamadeen was yesterday morning discovered floating in a trench on North Road, just a corner away from his Jiffy Lubes store in Light Street, and the pathologist’s examination later revealed that he had suffered blunt trauma to the back of the head and injuries to the mouth.

A post mortem examination on Thursday had determined that the man had died from possible decapitation.

The discovery was made just after 6 yesterday morning, around the same time his headless body had been found in Cowan Street, Kingston three days ago. Local residents who made the discovery and alerted police told Stabroek News yesterday that the head had been there since Wednesday, but they had not recognized what it was. A police press release yesterday stated that acting on information received from public-spirited citizens, at about 8.30 the police recovered the head in a trench at Albert Street and North Road, Georgetown.
