According to his father, Harrinarine Ramcharran known as ‘Gunman’, he received the call about his son’s discovery on Tuesday afternoon. When he ventured to the location, he saw the deceased lying approximately six feet from the cycle. The father said he was wearing a helmet and when he checked, his neck appeared to have been broken.
