His bloodied body was found in his bedroom by employees who went in
search of him after telephone calls to his house were not answered and
he failed to show up at his business place.
An employee of Le Rich Garment Store, one of his businesses, who gave
her name only as Tessa, told reporters she and a driver arrived at the
dead man’s residence and called his name several times before deciding
to enter the yard.

They
observed that the back door was ajar and entered the house where they
saw the entire bottom flat of the building in disarray.

They proceeded upstairs and made the discovery of the corpse on a
blood-soaked bed lying face down.
Tessa said they left the premises and reported the murder at Providence
Police Station, also on East Bank Demerara, from where male and female
ranks hurried and cordoned off the crime scene.

The employee said the entire building was ransacked, apparently in
search of other things but it has not been ascertained if anything else
is missing, apart from the gold jewellery Richardson usually
wears,
including several large chains, rings and
bracelets.
Richardson, the proprietor of Le Rich Hotel, Taxi Service and Garment
Store, all in Georgetown, on Princes Street between George and Smyth
Streets, was at home alone. His wife is in Barbados.
Scores of his relatives, employees and friends, after hearing of the
killing, gathered at the ill-fated house and speculated that Richardson
was killed by someone whom he knew, as there were no signs of forced
entry.
It is believed that he was bludgeoned to death with a brick which was
left in the upper flat of the two-storey house. His face was swollen and
he suffered the brunt of the injuries in his head.
Neighbours reported that they saw a motor car parked outside
Richardson’s house with its hazard lights on, for about half an hour
before 22:00 h Tuesday night, but thought nothing of it until they heard
of the murder yesterday morning.
Police, later, combed the crime scene with a tracker dog, which bolted
out of the yard and ran along the street before circling a cul-de-sac
and returning to the scene.
