DICKSON - A man found murdered in his flat could have lain dead for up to four weeks, it has emerged. The body of Raymond Yeo, 60, was discovered in his first floor property in North Dickson, on Thursday evening. He was found by Linapore Police at about 1700 hrs after a friend reported he had not been seen for some time. Officers are trying to determine when he died, but it is understood it could have been at least four weeks ago.

Detectives said they were treating Mr Yeo's death as suspicious, cordoning off the property and launching a major inquiry. Investigators have confirmed he had been murdered, but have not revealed how he died. They added that Mr Yeo lived alone, was well-known locally and had had a number of visitors. Detective Chief Inspector Randy Flink, who is in charge of the murder hunt, said: "We need to speak to anyone who may have seen or heard from Mr Yeo in the last four weeks. It is vital that we piece together his last known movements."
