Dallon Francis, a farmer of Rupertee Village, North Rupununi, was found dead on Sunday morning, mere hours after his birthday celebration
Francis had just turned 18, and decided to visit a bar in Aranaputa Valley on Saturday evening, along with his parents, relatives and friends, to celebrate.

According to reports, the young man was seen taking a few drinks with his family until the bar was closed at midnight and the other individuals went home leaving Francis there.
At around 02:00hrs on Sunday, a Lethem resident while driving along the trail, saw the young man’s body lying in a pool of blood in the middle of the road.
Police were summoned and it was observed that there was a wound to the left side of Francis’ head.
