Missing sailor’s body found floating
Less than a week after Vishnu Narine, a 42-year-old sailor of Golden Fleece, Essequibo Coast, allegedly
Vishnu Narine
jumped into the Essequibo River near the mining camp, at Rockstone, his family discovered his body at Butukari.
Nandranie Narine, the man’s sister, said that she traveled to the area and launched a search for her brother’s remains with the assistance of some other people.
According to Narine, her brother’s body had floated up several days earlier, however no one took the body out of the river and she learnt that it drifted.
She said the body was finally located and when she saw the remains of her brother the sight was devastating.
Narine added that her brother had no feet and arms, and his nose was missing.
Nandranie also said that her brother’s eyes were also missing. She said his face was swollen and there were visibly additional marks of violence on his body.
The grieving woman said that a hole was dug and her brother was buried. Nandranie said that the lone police officer ordered her to sign a statement and without realising what she was doing, she complied.
She said that the police did not carry out any proper investigation and a post mortem was not conducted.
Narine said that she learnt too, that her brother had some problems with some of the men with whom he was working and is calling on the police to exhume the body and conduct a thorough investigation.
