Body of suspected pirate recovered
Police yesterday recovered the body of 25-year-old Shavy Allicock, two days after he disappeared in the Demerara River during a suspected pirate attack.
Allicock’s body was recovered at around 18.00 hrs in the vicinity of the Vreed –en-Hoop jetty. It was brought ashore at the Marine Police wharf, located behind the Ruimveldt Police Station.
Police sources said that the body bore no visible injuries.
There are reports that Allicock, of 24 James Street, Albouystown, plunged off a ship in the vicinity of Muneshwer’s wharf, after being spotted by a security guard.
His mother, Yvonne Sooklall, had refuted reports that he was shot.
In 2010, the young man’s father, Leonard Allicock was held for the 2009 murder of Wendell Tappin, who was stabbed and chopped about the body over a cell phone battery. He was later acquitted.
