The 17-year old son of a Guyanese couple living in neighbouring Venezuela was on Monday found dead a day after he was kidnapped by Spanish speaking gunmen, who had demanded a hefty ransom for his safe return.
Jonathan Mohammed, whose parents are formally from Caledonia Village on the Essequibo Island of Wakenaam, was kidnapped on September 22, a short distance from the Puerto Ordaz, Venezuela home he shared with his parents.
A source in Wakenaam told Kaieteur News that the body of Mohamed, who was born in Venezuela, was discovered on Monday night in a drain.
He was reportedly shot several times in his head and upper body.
This was after the kidnappers became impatient after Mohamed’s family could not raise the Guy$15M ransom.
Mohamed, who was the great grandson of “Bai Bai” of Wakenaam was cremated in Venezuela last Saturday.
