An 80-year-old man was found murdered in his house in Parys on Sunday morning after failing to attend a church service.
Police are searching for suspects.
The alarm was sounded when he didn't arrive at church at about 8.30am.
One of the ladies from the church went to his house to check on him.
“When she arrived at his house, she found the back door open and went inside. She saw him and called the police,” said police spokesperson Capt Loraine Earle.
Earle said the man was found lying on the floor in the kitchen with his hands and feet bound.
“There was no visible forced entry to the house. The deceased was staying alone in the house,” Earle said.
