Police said that Dave Boyal, of Batavia, Cuyuni River, was slain around 22.00 hrs on Friday at Blackwater Island backdam, Cuyuni River.
According to reports, Boyal and other workers were in their hammocks when the camp owner, who was reportedly intoxicated, entered and began to cut down the hammocks.
