The stepfather of Akeem Grimmond, the 14-year-old who was found dead on Monday afternoon with multiple chop and stab wounds about his body, is calling on the police to ensure the culprit is jailed for life.
Grimmond, who had gone missing on Saturday afternoon after he left home to corral cows that were in the backlands, died of suffocation.
The teen was found face down in a drain some 300 feet away from his Number 61 Village home. According to persons who were a part of the search party, the teen’s body was partially decomposed.
A post-mortem examination conducted yesterday revealed that Grimmond died of suffocation. The child is believed to have been still breathing when he was placed in the drain, as according to the stepfather, Ryan Persaud, the doctor who conducted the autopsy said that mud blocked up the teen’s lungs, causing him to die.
