The police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of Rafael Khan, 33, of Queenstown, Essequibo, whose body was found at about 16:00 hours on Saturday at Mowasie Backdam, Mahdia, Potaro, with suspected stab wounds to the chest.
The circumstances surrounding Khan’s death are still unclear and police have not indicated if they have identified a suspect or suspects.
His body is at the Mahdia Hospital Mortuary awaiting a post mortem examination.
Khan’s murder comes on the heels of the murders of a father and son in the lucrative gold mining areas of Guyana’s interior, last week.
