With two men pointing fingers at each other for the killing of miner Keon Mentore, an investigation has found that it was the victim’s colleague who killed him and then buried his remains in a three-foot deep grave some two weeks ago.
However, further investigation is ongoing to determine whether Mentore’s employer, a dredge owner, also played a part in his murder.
Divisional Commander, Ravindradat Budhram said that advice was sought and it has been recommended to charge the miner’s colleague with his murder.
Kaieteur News understands that the suspect will be charged with murder sometime next week since the police are still doing some additional investigation to determine the role played by the employer in Mentore’s murder.
A little boy flying his kite last Tuesday at Karrau Backdam, Three Miles, Mazaruni stumbled upon the body of a man buried in a three-foot deep grave.
The child’s parents informed the police, who went to the scene to investigate. Shortly after, the victim’s employer and colleague were arrested.
The victim, whose body was decomposed when it was discovered, was reportedly attacked with pieces of wood and a cutlass after he was accused of stealing raw gold.
When investigators removed the remains from the shallow grave on Tuesday afternoon, it was determined that the victim was clad in a pair of blue pants and a jersey.
A police source explained that the victim started working with the owner of a dredge at a mining camp in Mazaruni some months ago.
Initial reports are that two weeks ago, a quantity of raw gold went missing from the camp and the victim’s employer accused him of stealing the valuables. It is being reported that the two men got into an argument which resulted in a scuffle.
According to information received, the miner was beaten by both men—This is still being investigated.
