Members of the Central Division are at the scene of a murder in Freeport this morning where the body of a 37-year-old man was dumped after a robbery.

Police said Eldon Roopnarine was with a female friend at about 7 pm yesterday when five men approached the Mazda car they were sitting in.

The men forced his friend into the backseat, after which he was beaten and bundled into the trunk.

The men drove the car to a bushy area where both Roopnarine and the woman were thrown out.

The woman saw that Roopnarine was unresponsive and walked through the bush to a house. She borrowed the phone of the residents to call the police.

Members of the Central Division went to the scene and after searching the area found Roopnarine's body.

Police believe robbery was the motive for the murder.
