Men found in Marriott parking lot died after ingesting cyanide – Benn

Paishnarine ‘Richie’ Hansraj and Justin Teixeira, the two men who were discovered dead in a vehicle in the Marriott Hotel parking lot last month, died after ingesting sodium cyanide, according to Home Affairs Minister Robeson Benn.

“It is very clear that it was cyanide that was ingested…not only from the testing of the material that was there but the discoloration and other observation,” Benn told Stabroek News on Friday.
