Dead is Cephil Levius, 72, of Lot 163 Non Pariel Street, Albouystown.

According to Levius’ wife, Dawn Taylor, 36, she last saw her husband alive when he left home about 08:00 hrs to clean his office. She left to go shopping.

She said that on her way home from the Stabroek Market, she saw a group of people standing outside her husband’s office and decided to stop and enquire.

The woman told the Sunday Chronicle that she walked into the building and saw her husband’s bloodied body lying on the floor in his office.

He had been stabbed about the body about five times.

Taylor said people refused to tell her what happened at the scene but she was aware that he usually kept money in his office and immediately suspected robbery as the motive for the killing.

When the Sunday Chronicle visited the scene yesterday, neighbours and business proprietors were tight lipped on the incident and claimed that they did not know the deceased nor did they see anything. (Michel Outridge)
