Four days after a Berbice man went missing, his body was found along the 63 Village Seashore, Corentyne, Berbice. The discovery was made at about 07:00h.
Mohamed Baksh, 56, of Crabwood Creek, Corentyne, was reported missing on December 21. Following the discovery, a post mortem performed by pathologist Dr Vivekanand Brijmohan proved he suffered a fractured skull.
The autopsy showed that he died as a result of haemorrhage and shock. The money changer was last seen by relatives at around 08:05h on Monday last, when he reportedly received a call indicating that some elderly people wanted to change some foreign currency.
He had indicated that he would be back in two hours and left home.
After time elapsed and he did not return home, his relatives attempted to contact him via hone but the calls went unanswered. They subsequently made a report to the Springlands Police Station.
The police are treating the incident as murder.
Several persons have been questioned in relation to murder including relatives of the dead man.
