Police seek motive for the killing of a Guyanese couple found in Brooklyn.

Georgetown- Days after the gruesome discovery of two bodies in a car trunk in Brooklyn New York, police are looking for evidence that could lead them to a possible motive and to whoever may be responsible for the murders of the Guyanese couple. TrakkerNews understand that New York crime scene investigators are likely to contact local police here in Guyana to locate relatives who might have spoken to the couple recently. Authorities have positively identified the two bodies found Wednesday in the trunk of a rental car in New York as Evande Orna, 39, and Troy Edwards, 40, both of Plainfield, N.J.
Richmond police contacted New York City police Wednesday and gave them the location of the silver Nissan Altima after Richmond received the information from Fairfax County investigators. New York police found the car in the 400 block of East 52nd Street in Brooklyn. The cause of death has not been determined.

According to reports, Orna and Edwards were last seen Feb. 20 leaving Plainfield for Richmond in a rented silver Nissan Altima with New Jersey plates of YXE-62E. Orna’s father, Aubrey Mann, said late Wednesday night that his sister, who lives in Chicago, had called him earlier that evening and told him she had heard that the body of Edwards and a woman were found in Brooklyn. “I was holding out hope,” Mann said Wednesday night.

Richmond authorities had said since last week that Orna and Edwards might be victims of foul play. Authorities said they traveled from Plainfield and arrived at the Town & Country Apartments in South Richmond.

Police searched one of the apartments last week and obtained items including red stains, a stun gun, a roll of duct tape and a bleach bottle.
