Man’s body found in septic tank
…murder suspected
The police are investigating the apparent murder of Ram Kanaya, 42 years of No.78 Village, Corriverton, Berbice.
Kanaya’s body was found at about 11:00 hours yesterday in a septic tank at Grant 1806, Crabwood Creek, Corentyne, Berbice, with suspected marks of violence to the chest.
Kaieteur News understands that Kanaya was reported missing four days ago by a friend.
According to reports, persons going into the Corentyne backlands were hit by a strong stench, which they suspected was coming from a dead animal.
The police were contacted and the partly decomposed body was pulled from the septic tank.
A source in Berbice told this newspaper that the property that housed the septic tank was unoccupied at the time and is owned by a Suriname based Guyanese woman.
No one has been arrested so far.
The body is at the Skeldon Hospital Mortuary awaiting a Post Mortem Examination.
