Human skeletons found on East Coast Demerara

Mar 20, 2013 News

Police on the East Coast of Demerara are baffled by the discovery, hours apart, of two human skeletons in Mahaica and Mahaicony yesterday.
One of the skeletons, that of a male, was discovered around 08:00 hours at Unity, Mahaica, while the other which is so far undetermined was found on the left bank of the Abary River, shortly after midday.
Police in a statement said that at about 08:00 hours yesterday, the skeletal remains of a human being were found at Unity, Mahaica, ECD, in an area with thick vegetation.
Kaieteur News understands that the first skeleton was discovered by a farmer on a plot of land that he normally cultivates with cash crops.
A source in the area stated that the farmer had not cultivated the land for almost a year.
Yesterday he returned there with a view to restarting his activity and it was while he was clearing the bushes, that he stumbled upon the skeleton.
Investigators believe that the skeleton, which was clad in a green long sleeve shirt and a pair of blue trunks, is that of a young person, since a “brand named boots” was found close to it.
Information about the skeleton found at Mahaicony is vague but a source in the district said that there was clothing on it.
This newspaper was informed that a rural constable had made the discovery after receiving information from persons in the area.
The remains are at the Lyken Funeral Home as investigations continue.
