According to reports reaching Stabroek News, 59-year-old Cecil Persaud, a businessman who owns a lumberyard, was found at the southern end of his yard yesterday morning lying motionless with a gunshot wound to his head.
His family yesterday declined to speak on his death. Persaud had apparently gone missing on Saturday. A search on Saturday with other relatives proved futile. The yard was checked in an expanded search yesterday and his body was found. A gun was found nearby.
