Brian Blount

Murder accused Brian Blount who was found hanging in his cell at the Georgetown Prisons on Monday died as a result of asphyxiation, according to a post-mortem examination done yesterday but the relatives say they still have questions.

Blount’s father, Norman and uncle, Kenneth travelled from their home at Coomaka Mines, Linden to witness the post-mortem.

They said that they were unable to see the whole body but noticed what appeared to be bruises on his face. They said that after the examination was completed all they were told was that he died from asphyxiation and that he was unable to breathe.

They said that they still find it hard to believe
