Body of unidentified man found in Berbice

Police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of a hitherto unidentified man, whose body was discovered on Friday behind the newly-built ANSA McAL building at Palmyra village, East Canje Berbice.
Reports are that this body, clad in green three-quarter pants and a light green jersey, was discovered in a crouched position in a clump of bushes. It was barefooted.
Police have said that the man’s body was examined for marks of violence, and it was observed that the skin from the right side of his face, right ankle, and right hand had seemingly been peeled off.
This body has been taken to a funeral home as it awaits identification and a Post Mortem Examination (PME). Investigations are ongoing.
This is the second body to have been found in Berbice within the past three weeks. The body of a man, later identified as Neville Narine of Blairmont Number Four Settlement, West Bank Berbice, was found floating in the Berbice River in the vicinity of the Rosignol Market in September.
Reports are that Narine had gone missing after leaving his home to go to the Police Station to make a report against his son. He later turned up dead.
Family members had said that the father of three had constantly endured physical abuse from his son, and had finally made the decision to make a report to the Police.
Days later, the family had received news that the body was found floating in the Berbice River in the vicinity of the Rosignol Market.
