Police are investigating the murder of Edward Bramnarine, also known as Eddy, whose body was discovered about 23:20 hrs on Thursday at Water and Holmes Streets, Georgetown. According to police, Bramnarine is a “vagrant”.
Reports indicate that a female vendor in the area was on her way home (walking) when she saw Bramnarine, who was known to her for over 18 years, lying motionless on the street, bleeding from a wound to his left side chest. No one else was around.
She immediately called the Ambulance Service, which arrived shortly after and Bramnarine was pronounced dead by Doctor Durga from the Georgetown Public Hospital.
Bramnarine was seen lying on his back, with what appeared to be blood stains on his clothing and on the ground where he was seen.
Detectives saw one suspected stab wound to his chest and a cut to his right wrist. The scene was processed by detectives and several persons were questioned.
The body was escorted to the Memorial Gardens Funeral Home, where it awaits a post-mortem examination.
