Relatives of Surojdeo Deochand, who was found murdered in the lower flat of his house on Tuesday afternoon, are claiming that the man was threatened numerous times in the past and his house was stoned several times causing him to relocate for months.
Police yesterday morning had issued a wanted bulletin for Mark Anthony Henry, 24, the brother of Joel Henry, who they said is needed for questioning in connection with the circumstances surrounding Deochand’s murder. However police last evening confirmed that Henry had since turned himself over to police at CID headquarters in Georgetown.
Deochand, also known as ‘Sagie’, 68, of Lot 35 Number Three Village, West Coast Berbice, was found in a pool of blood in his house around 5.30 pm on Tuesday. According to the police, the man sustained a wound to the left side of his face, one to the back of his head, one on his left hand and one on his right hand causing three fingers to be severed.
