Gafoor’s manager found dead in home

Terry Lackhan

A Gafoor’s manager was found dead at his Herstelling, East Bank Demerara home on Thursday night.

However, while the son of Terry Lackhan, 55, of Lot 39 Herstelling, East Bank Deme-rara, believes that he was killed, police are treating his death as a suicide since he was found with a rope around his neck. Investiga-tors are now counting on a post-mortem examination for some certainty on the man’s cause of death.

The gruesome discovery of Lakhan’s body was made on Thursday night between 9 pm and 10 pm by a neighbour, who also reported seeing an individual running out of their yard.

When Stabroek News visited his home yesterday, police were seen taking statements from his neighbours, who reside in the bottom flat of the two-storey house.
