Body found near Long Creek
Police are trying to ascertain whether a 29-year-old man who was found dead on the Soesdyke/Linden Highway on Wednesday is the victim of a hit-and-run accident or foul play.
The victim has been identified as Shurland Henry of Long Creek, Soesdyke/Linden. His body was found a short distance from his home.
A police official told Kaieteur News that Henry’s body bore lacerations and bruises, but investigators are still unsure whether they are dealing with a homicide.
It is expected that a post mortem will be conducted on Monday.
Police have been dealing with a recent spate of fatal hit-and-run accidents. In early December, Bibi Salima Khan, 44, was struck down and killed near La Union, West Coast Demerara. Police are still to identify the driver.
And on December 20, Rodwell Brummell, a 22-year-old Farfan and Mendes Ltd. Employee, was killed on the spot while walking on Lamaha Street, Georgetown.
Police have since arrested and charged Sewdat Ramlall, 48, of Kersaint Park, La Bonne Intention, East Coast Demerara in connection with Brummell’s death.
