Apr 20, 2013 News

 

 

Police Thursday night recovered the lifeless body of 33-year-old, Shakti Bissessar, formerly of Lima, Essequibo Coast, some hours after she went missing. It was floating in the Pomeroon River.
The body of Bissessar, a mentally challenged woman, was taken to the Oscar Joseph Hospital to await a post mortem.
According to reports, Bissessar visited her brother at Tennessee, in the Pomeroon several days ago.
The report added, that on the day she went missing, the woman was said to have used a pit latrine that hung over the river.
The report suggested that from all indications, Bissessar, who usually suffered frequent epileptic attacks, may have suffered an attack and fell overboard.
Searches were conducted the day of the incident, after Bissessar’s relatives could not have located her. A child discovered the woman’s body floating in the river on Thursday.
An alarm was raised and a report was subsequently lodged at the Charity Police Outpost.
There were no marks of violence on Bissessar’s body.
