Police recover bodies in Mahaicony and Mahaica Rivers

Jul 14, 2008 News

An exhumation is likely as investigators probe the mysterious death of a 59-year-old man from Moraikobai Mission, Mahaicony River, whose body was discovered in the river early yesterday morning.
The body of Ivan Abrams was buried immediately, due to its advanced state of decomposition.
Abrams disappeared last Thursday after he left the mission to go fishing.
When he did not return, a search was launched for him, but it was not until at about 7:00 hours that villagers stumbled upon his body floating in the river.
Police were called in but, because of the decomposed state of the body, a decision was taken to bury it with a view to performing a post mortem examination after exhumation at a later date.
It is suspected that Abrams died by drowning, but investigators say they want to be absolutely certain before ruling out foul play.
The discovery of Abrams’s body is the second such to be made within two days, following that of a 36-year-old farmer from Cane Grove, Mahaica, who was pulled from a canal near his farm on Saturday afternoon, a day after he went missing.
The body of Marvin Haniff was discovered at about 16:30 hours by relatives, who launched a search for him after he went missing on Friday.
Kaieteur News understands that Haniff left his home and went to his farm at Little Baiboo, Mahaica Creek on Friday.
When he did not return, his relatives became suspicious and formed a search party to look for him.
This newspaper was told that relatives were about to file a missing persons report with the police at Cane Grove when news of the discovery of the body was relayed.
Police went to the scene and, upon examining the body, have almost ruled out foul play, since no marks of violence were discovered.
