– found with gaping wound to back of head
The body of 14-year-old Akeem Grimmond was found around 13:00 hrs yesterday at Number 61 Village, Corentyne, Berbice, two days after he went missing.
Grimmond of 53 Section ‘B’ Number 61 Village was last seen alive around 17:30 hrs last Saturday when he left his home to go and tend to some cows.
According to his mother, 32-year-old Parbattie Takurdyal, her son would usually tend to a villager’s cows which he would round up in the afternoons.
The woman stated that the lad left home as usual to go to the Number 62 backdam to collect the cows, but failed to return home. After she did not see him around 20:30 hrs she made a report at the No. 62 police outpost.
Search parties were then organized and the body was found with a gaping four- inch wound behind the left ear. He was clad in the same clothes that he had left home with- a green short pants and red and white vest.
Investigations are continuing and several persons have been detained for questioning.
