He stressed that investigations into the murder are continuing.

According to police, Browne’s body was found around 4 pm. Relatives have since told Stabroek News that while motive is unclear, the young man had been threatened prior to his death. They said they suspected that a man had delivered on a promise to kill him, over his [Browne’s] friendship with the man’s girlfriend. Another theory was that he was the victim of a robbery.
