A Special Lance Corporal succumbed at a city hospital on Saturday afternoon, hours after he was beaten by another rank while he was stationed at the Special Constabulary Headquarters on Princes Street, Wortmanville.

Dead is Special Lance Corporal Carlos Alleyne, 25.

Police spokesman Jairam Ramlakhan late last evening confirmed the incident which occurred around 9.15am on Saturday.

He said an investigation is ongoing to determine the circumstances under which Alleyne died.

An autopsy performed yesterday revealed that Alleyne died as a result of a brain haemorrhage and blunt trauma to the brain, Ramlakhan said.

Ramlakhan, in a press release said that Alleyne was taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital, after he reportedly complained of feeling unwell following an incident at the Special Constabulary Headquarters.

He succumbed around 2.52 pm the said day while receiving medical attention.

The statement did not disclose any other details.

Stabroek News was reliably informed that Alleyne succumbed to injuries inflicted by a Police Sergeant.

It remains unclear what might have led to the incident between the two.
