Police Sergeant Anthony Sulker, the primary suspect in the murder of attorney-at-law Richard Layne, has died at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC), where he was receiving treatment after reportedly ingesting poison.
Sulker, who had been under investigation following the discovery of Layne’s body in his car on Wednesday night, was found in critical condition earlier today by Penelope Lewis, Layne’s mother.
Lewis discovered Sulker lying near the door of the home he shared with Layne, surrounded by vomit and a green substance, which is suspected to be poison.
Sulker was rushed to GPHC, but despite medical efforts, he succumbed to his condition moments ago.
During a subsequent search of the premises, police discovered two bottles containing a green liquid in Sulker’s car, believed to be the poison he ingested. The investigation into Layne’s murder and the circumstances surrounding Sulker’s death is ongoing.
