Oct 14, 2016 News

Detectives were summoned around 15:30 hrs yesterday to remove the body of an unidentified man from a trench at the Presidential Park, formerly known as Merriman Mall, in the vicinity of the Georgetown Cricket Club ground.
When this newspaper arrived, undertakers had already removed the body which was spotted by school children on their way home. The body was said to be that of a man of East Indian descent and about five feet, seven inches tall. There were no marks of violence.
Early yesterday, vendors spotted a brown object in the trench and assumed that someone had thrown a piece of cardboard in the water, but it was actually the victim’s brown shirt that was floating.
An alarm was raised when a few school children who were playing in the park spotted it.
“I come in since morning and see this thing and I fretting and asking is who throw cardboard in the trench already.” Her comments were rooted in the fact that the people of Guyana are bent on maintaining a clean environment.
The woman said that it was only when the children pointed out that it was a body that she observed it. The police believe that the remains might have been there since Wednesday night.
