Police are investigating the suspected murder of Elton Thompson, 14, of South Rupununi. The child was killed on January 11, last, at Chinese Creek, Puruni.
According to the police, investigations revealed that Elton Thompson and another miner, Jonas Perreira, 26, of Tuschen, East Bank Essequibo, were imbibing with two Brazilian nationals. It is alleged that an argument developed between the two miners and the two Brazilians during which the Brazilians assaulted them with pieces of wood about their bodies.
Elton Thompson and Jonas Perreira were taken to the Bartica Hospital where Elton Thompson was pronounced dead on arrival, while Jonas Perreira has been admitted a patient.
Efforts are being made to get the body and the injured man to Georgetown.
A team of investigating ranks is in the Puruni area but so far the suspects have not been arrested.
