Sep 28, 2011 News

 

A team of detectives has been dispatched to the Omai area to probe the murder of 23-year-old gold miner Jahave Browne.
Browne of  Helena, Mahaica, East Coast Demerara was found on Monday afternoon, lying on a trail at a  location called Bonehead, situated near the popular gold mining site, with a bullet hole in his chest.
While the police have not yet provided details of the circumstances surrounding his death, this newspaper was informed that Browne was killed during a row over gold.
There are no reports as yet as to who his killer is.
Police who had travelled to the location on Monday have brought his body to the Linden Hospital Mortuary from where it will be transported to the city for a post mortem examination.
Kaieteur News contacted the dead man’s grandmother Ursula Browne yesterday and she expressed shock at his sudden passing.
The woman informed that she received news of his death from a villager whose relative is also in the interior location where Browne was killed.
“A boy come and tell me that Jahave dead. I say, ‘Jahave dead?’ He say, ‘Yes Cousin Ursula, he get shoot’,” the woman told this newspaper.
She said that she was given no information as to the circumstances that led to her grandson’s death.
According to Mrs. Browne, she had not seen her grandson since he left for the interior more than a year ago.
“Dem boys who go in the bush and come out would usually tell me that Jahave doing okay. But this is a shock to me and all the family,” Ursula Browne told Kaieteur News.
