Human skull, bones found in canefield at Better Hope

Oct 30, 2015 News

Guyana’s DNA shortcomings will certainly be amplified with the discovery of yet another human skeleton, this time at Better Hope, East Coast Demerara.
The remains, believed to be that of a male, were found in an unused plot of land near a canefield at Better Hope at around 06.30 hrs yesterday.
The area is close to Plaisance Squatting Area.
From all appearances, the remains were at the spot for sometime but were left undetected because no one had used that area.
However, it was yesterday while cane cutters were preparing to work in the area for the first time that they noticed the skull. They then found human bones nearby.
A green hat, a pair of black pants with red stripes and a shirt was discovered nearby. Judging from the clothes, one cane cutter suggested that the victim was a young person.
One of the workers, who saw the remains said that it was two cane cutters who first saw the skull.
“They noticed it and raised an alarm and other workers went. We saw the human skull and around the area, there were bones.”
He added that the police were summoned and they took away the remains.
According to the worker, a few years ago, workers came across a decomposed body at a canefield in Ogle.
“People would usually dump bodies in these areas because it’s not populated,” the worker opined.
