Stabroek News
The bullet-riddled bodies of two men, believed to have been foreign nationals, were found in the Essequibo River, within a day of each other.
The men bodies bore gunshot wounds to the head and were both disemboweled and were buried yesterday by police, who explained that they were forced to proceed because of the advanced state of decomposition. Because both of the bodies washed up on beaches, it is apparent the men were killed elsewhere and their bodies dumped.
Residents of Wakenaam yesterday told Stabroek News that the men, said to be “fair in complexion,” were definitely not from the area and it was suspected that they might have been from neighbouring Venezuela.
Stabroek News was told that a farmer alerted the police to the first body around 4 pm on Tuesday. The farmer reported that he had seen a body floating in the river in the vicinity of Black Rock, Wakenaam. When police investigated, they found the body, dressed in a three quarter pants and white shirt, lying face down on the beach. A hole was observed at the top of the head; the abdomen had been “cut open” and the innards removed.
The other body, said to be of a male of around 25 years, was found face down on a beach at Hamburg, Essequibo River, dressed only in a black long pants. This body, medium in build and about 5 ft 9 ins in height, bore two gun shot wounds to the head; the abdomen had also been cut opened and some organs were missing.
