PH driver Davad Barran was stabbed 80 times before his legs were set afire according to the findings of an autopsy conducted by pathologist Dr Hughvon Des Vignes at the Forensic Science Centre, on Thursday.
Police suspect the gruesome death may be a reprisal killing for the murder of another man earlier this year.
Barran was left for dead in a cocoa estate in Gran Couva on Monday, where he was found by employees. He survived long enough to tell police the identity of the men who abducted and tortured him.
He died while being treated for his injuries on the scene.
Homicide investigators said they were working on the theory that Barran and ex-convict Garvin Andrews, who was killed on Sunday, were victims of a reprisal killing.
Police said Barran was believed to have been a driver for Andrews, who was a suspect in the murder of Hayden “Ludo” Nero.
Nero was gunned down in a street near his home in Couva on February 3.
Andrews was shot multiple times in the head while he slept at an apartment in Freeport.
Barran was reported missing by his father on Monday, even as officers were removing his body from the cocoa estate.
