Police are questioning two airport employees in connection with the death of maintenance worker Chris Jacob, whose body was found in a reservoir near the Cheddi Jagan International Airport last Sunday.
Sources said that the employees were taken into custody yesterday and are being questioned at the Timehri Police Station. It is unclear why the two were detained.
Information reaching Kaieteur News indicates that Jacobs, 26, of Hauraruni Village, Linden/Soesdyke Highway, may have met his death at around 23.00 hrs on Saturday, shortly after an altercation.
Kaieteur News understands that Jacob was at a party in the airport’s maintenance area, when he attempted to fondle a female employee. According to sources, the woman slapped Jacob, who attempted to hit her with a louver pane.
Two employees reportedly restrained him while others called the police. It is alleged that on learning that he might be arrested, Jacob fled in the direction of a reservoir and the employees lost sight of him. He was found dead in the reservoir the following day.
A release issued on Sunday stated that Jacob was discovered “apparently drowned” in the reservoir after being involved in a reported assault and a resulting altercation at 23.00hrs on Saturday in the Works Maintenance area.
“Mr. Jacob’s body was discovered at 1330hrs today 23 November after repeated efforts to locate him last evening. He was identified and the body removed under supervision of the Police,” the release added.
Jacobs had been working in the maintenance department at CJIA for several years.
