The tomb raiders have struck again, this time vandalizing a tomb within the La Belle Alliance Cemetery, on the Essequibo Coast.
According to reports reaching Kaieteur News, the tomb held the remains of an elderly woman. After further enquires, it was disclosed that the tomb was that of Enid Warner, a once popular businesswoman who died on June 10, 1994.
The discovery was first made last week Thursday by a resident of the La Belle Alliance community. There are speculations, however, that the tomb may have been broken into about a week earlier, since a woman recalled hearing noise in the cemetery during the morning hours, around the said period.
When Kaieteur News visited the grave last Tuesday, it was observed that grill work, which surrou
nds the concrete tomb, was torched. It was also observed that the side of the tomb was bashed it, and a piece of 2×4 timber lay nearby.
The inside of the tomb, however, seemed quite empty. It was concluded that the corpse was missing, apart from a leg that was still lying nearby.
The family members explained that efforts were being made to have the police contacted. Gail Warner said that she could think of no reason why someone will want to vandalize her dead mother’s tomb. She also explained that the deceased was buried with no material possessions that may be of great value.
In September 2018, three tombs were vandalized within the said cemetery. During that period the heads of the three corpses were removed.
