Miner who never reached camp found dead on Backdam trail
Samuel Gonsalves, a 22-year-old miner of Tabatinga, was found dead on Christmas day by a ranger at around 18:30HRS on Obanna Backdam trail.
According to police, Gonsalves’ body bore two suspected stab wounds to the left side of his chest and is presently at the Mahdia Hospital Mortuary awaiting a post mortem examination.
The deceased worked with a dredge owner from Moruca, North West District (NWD) and had received his pay in gold on the 23rd of December.

The deceased continued drinking until Christmas day.
