Nov 04, 2009 News

The decomposed body found at Hararuni, Soesdyke/Linden Highway on Monday has been identified as that of 23-year-old Gavin Washington of South Vryheid’s Lust, East Coast Demerara.
Police said that an aunt of Washington’s identified his remains from the clothing that the victim was wearing. Kaieteur News understands that Washington moved into Vryheid’s Lust some six months ago and worked with a taxi service.
Washington’s badly decomposed remains were found around 14:00 hrs on Monday on a trail off the Soesdyke/Linden Highway.
There is speculation that Washington was shot, since a warhead and a .45 bullet casing were found near the corpse.
He was clad in a pair of denim jeans and blue underwear.
A pair of Reebok boots was found near the body. Police sources said that a young man who was passing through the area found the remains and contacted the police.
