– police
The Guyana Police Force has now ascertained that no one died in a collision of vessels that occurred in the Essequibo River, as was previously reported.
The police on Monday had issued a statement which claimed that four persons had perished in a river accident just off Kurupukari, involving a motor powered boat and a canoe. The statement had also claimed that the body of one Lionel Williams was recovered and a search had been launched for the remaining three persons.
But in a subsequent statement yesterday the police admitted that the earlier report was misleading. According to the police investigators who went to the scene, they contacted 40-year-old Lionel Williams, of Rupununi, the captain of the canoe, who told them that he sustained injuries and was treated at the Fair View Medical Centre and sent away.
