Unidentified body found in Canje River

Dec 07, 2010 News

The body of an unidentified male of Amerindian descent was found floating in the Canje River, around 09:00 hrs, yesterday. Three men found the body while they were searching for their boat which disappeared about a week ago in the river.
Hubert Thompson, 31, of Angoy’s Avenue, stated that his stepson, Mark Anthony Kellowan and  a friend, David Williams, set off from an area that used to be known as ‘Splashmins’ just behind Tucber Park, in search of his boat. He said that he borrowed a boat from another friend to go on the mission.
The area is about a mile from the Berbice River and about 800 metres from the Canje Bridge. He said that they decided to go up river, because if anyone had stolen his boat the individual would definitely head upriver.
He said that they had not gone far when they noticed this strange object caught among some bushes in the corner of the river.
Upon a closer inspection they realized that it was a body. The body, which was bloated, was lying face down in the water.
Thompson stated that they immediately aborted what plans they had and headed to the Central Police Station where they reported the discovery.
The police, he said, responded immediately. They trekked through a bushy area behind Tucber Park and boarded the boat he was using and headed to the scene.
The corpse, under the supervision of the police ranks, was then taken to the Arokium Funeral Parlour.
