Joseph’s relatives — sister Sophia Joseph, cousin Eastlyn Farrell, niece Teneisha Joseph and aunt Sylma Maughn — reported that they were contacted shortly after 8 am and told that “Green Man’s” (Joseph) body was found at an abandoned house at Agostini Trace, Diego Martin.
Police and relatives reported that there were chop wounds to Joseph’s head, face, hands and upper body. An autopsy found that he died as a result of the wounds. Joseph’s family said that on September 20 he got into an altercation with some persons over a cellphone and was beaten later that day. Joseph was at home washing clothes on Sunday when he left his Green Hill home at about 3 pm saying he was “going to make a spin”.
When 11 pm reached and Joseph did not return home, his relatives became concerned but did not think anything bad had happened.
Residents of Green Hill reported hearing someone crying out at about 2 am yesterday but they did not investigate because of the curfew.
At about 7 am persons in the neighbourhood made checks and found Joseph’s body at the abandoned house. The police was subsequently alerted.
National Security Minister John Sandy said, on September 28, the National Security Council met to discuss the curfew which was first introduced when the government announced a State of Emergency in the country on August 21.
The curfew was introduced then from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. but was later shortened to 11 p.m. to 4 a.m.
Sandy said the curfew was being reviewed constantly and it could be adjusted again to the original 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. timeframe or it could be removed.
“There is the possibility it could even be removed,” he said.
