Nassau, BAHAMAS- Police arrested a man with a history of mental illness after his father was found murdered in a shallow grave on Monday.
Police showed up to 57-year-old Ricardo Seymour’s home at Beaumontia Avenue in Garden Hills Number One around 12:30 p.m. March 23, after receiving reports that he’d been buried in his back yard.
Police arrested Seymour’s 24-year-old son at the scene.
According to Chief Superintendent Solomon Cash, head of the Central Detective Unit, the makeshift grave was 50 feet from the home.
Cash said he believed Seymour had been dead for about a day before the grisly discovery.
He urged anyone who heard or saw anything to come forward.
Cash could not say how Seymour was killed but said an autopsy would provide the cause of death.
Family members claim that the murder suspect had a history of mental illness.
Cash said he had also received those reports but required confirmation from medical professionals.
Bahamas Court News has confirmed that the murder suspect is no stranger to the court system. He was accused of an armed robbery spree back in 2016.
