The murder rate continued to climb in Guyana’s interior, with the latest victim being 23-year-old Randy Rafael, who was found dead around 07:00 hrs at Bruck Up Landing, North West District, with a gunshot wound to the head.

A police release said that Rafael’s body was found in a hammock after police ranks from Yarakita, acting on information, visited the area.No motive was given for the killing and police said that the suspect has not yet been arrested.The release said that while at ‘Bruck Up’ Landing, the ranks received further information that the body of another Guyanese of Amerindian descent had been brought over earlier in the day from the border village of Mundo in Venezuela.

Police said that investigations revealed that Titus Daniels, a miner of Yarakita, was allegedly fatally stabbed to his back by another Guyanese miner during an altercation at Mundo. Kaieteur News was told that both Daniels and his assailant were consuming alcohol at the time. The release stated that other Guyanese miners arrested the suspect and brought Daniels’s body to Guyana.

The suspect was handed over to the police and is in custody. Efforts are being made to bring the bodies to Mabaruma, North West District. In late March, the body of Ray Holder, a 29-year-old miner of South Turkeyen, East Coast Demerara, washed ashore at Mahdia. A post mortem revealed that he had been stabbed twice in the chest.
