Political activist Courtney Crum-Ewing
was shot five times
with three shots to the head and
another at point blank range from behind his neck,
an autopsy this morning has found.
Attorney Nigel Hughes
who represented the man when he was alive,
posted on his Facebook page
that gun powder residue
was found on the collar at the back of the shirt
that Crum-Ewing was wearing.
Hughes said that
Crum-Ewing was shot three times in the head
and another shot was at point blank range
from behind his neck and
one from under his arm pit
exiting above his shoulder.
Two war heads have been recovered
from the head of the deceased,
according to Hughes.
Crum-Ewing, 40, was gunned down
by a group of men in a car
shortly after 8PM on Tuesday
as he walked along a street
in the Diamond, East Bank Demerara community
where he lived.
At the time, he was urging persons
to come out and vote
at the upcoming May 11th general elections
so that the PPP/C
could be removed from office.
