Body found at Puruni: Venezuelan woman died of compression to neck – PME

A post-mortem examination conducted on the body of Venezuelan national Andrea Herazo, who was discovered in a room near a popular night spot at Puruni Landing in Region Seven (Cuyuni-Mazaruni), has confirmed that her death was due to compression injuries to neck.
The woman’s dead body was discovered on January 19, and an immediate investigation was launched by the Police. Upon arriving on scene, law enforcement officials had examined the body before transferring it to the Bartica Hospital mortuary.
The circumstances surrounding Herazo’s death remain unclear. Region Seven Police Commander Dion Moore had previously stated, in a recent interview, that the investigation is active. Two individuals had initially been arrested in connection with the case, but they were later released.
After the post-mortem examination, Herazo’s sister had taken to social media to accuse an unidentified man of being responsible for her sister’s death. In a video shared online, Herazo’s sister has passionately demanded justice for her sibling.
Meanwhile, calls to the Regional Commander to get an update on this matter have proved futile. (G9)
