An inmate of Golden Grove Prison in Arouca, who died on arrival at the Arima Health Facility on Sunday, suffered injuries consistent with blunt force trauma.*
This was revealed by an autopsy yesterday.
A television news report last night stated that the prisoner was found unconscious at the detention centre on Sunday.
Police said, before collapsing, the man had complained of abdominal pain during the morning period.
He was taken later to the health facility where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
Rougier awaiting report
Commissioner of Prisons John Rougier said last night he had no definitive information on the matter and was awaiting a report.*In other words, the man was beaten to death!
