Bodies of two Brazilians found in Cuyuni swamp

Sep 22, 2015 News

Police may have a brutal double murder on their hands after finding the bodies of two Brazilians at Aramau Backdam, Cuyuni River.
The decomposed bodies of Brazilian nationals Jose Carlos Barbosa Araujo, 45, and Adonias Ferreira, 37, were found in a swamp around 14.30 hrs on Sunday.
The bodies have been taken to the Bartica Hospital mortuary and Crime Chief Wendell Blanhum said that police are awaiting post mortem examinations to ascertain if they are dealing with a case of foul play.
At least three other Brazilian nationals have been slain for the year in the crime-prone interior.
Last April Antonia De Sena, a 58-year-old Brazilian, was shot dead by bandits at Arau Landing, Wenamu River. Police were told that De Sena was killed after putting up a resistance to the bandits who had demanded gold and cash.
On June 2, Marco Nunes DaSilva, 40, was found dead in the Tamakay Backdam, Mazaruni River.
A post mortem performed by Government Pathologist, Dr. Nehaul Singh, revealed that the man died of asphyxiation.
According to reports, DaSilva had left his campsite on June 1, in the company of four workmates to run an errand at a shop. The men later returned to the campsite, but DaSilva did not show up with them.
A passerby found his body the following day.
And a few weeks ago, Josi Mar Perrieria Silva, 51, of Boa Vista, Brazil, was found dead in his camp at Mowasi Backdam. His body bore a gunshot wound to the forehead.
According to reports, Silva left his camp to check on the gold mat on his dredge which is located some distance away.
It is believed that his attackers ambushed and killed him before disappearing with the mat.
