The body of an unidentified woman in her early forties was discovered floating near a koker at Vriesland, West Bank Demerara around 15:00 hrs yesterday.
Reports revealed that a female resident from Vriesland spotted the body and notified other residents. Thereupon, a boat loaded with fishermen immediately ventured out into the river to confirm the report.
The victim was clad in a white tee-shirt and white underwear. Immediately after it was taken out of the water, a bus transported it to the Ezekiel Funeral Home.
Junior Garnett, a resident told Kaieteur News that when he heard about the discovery, he went into the river in a fishing boat with police to escort the body to shore.
“It looks like it was there for long because her knees were kinda reddish and her belly was swollen,” Garnett said.
According to reports, the body was earlier in the week spotted at a koker in Grove, East Bank Demerara (EBD) but fishermen refused to report the matter to the police.
“The fishermen them see the body but them na want go to the station because when you report that, you does have to wait long, long at the station like if you kill the person,” a Grove resident said.
The victim was still unidentified up to yesterday evening.
