The tomb of a woman who was buried in 1994 has been raided and her skeletal remains are missing.
The discovery was made a few days ago by a cattle farmer at the La Belle Alliance Cemetery, Essequibo Coast. Enid Warner was buried there some 25 years ago.
Upon inspection, relatives noticed that most of her skeletal remains were no longer there and they suspect that they were stolen by the raiders.
According to the daughter, Gail Warner, there was nothing of value in the tomb.
When Guyana Times visited the cemetery, it was observed that the skull and other parts of the skeleton were missing.
Only a few small bones and the woman’s clothing were there.
Residents living opposite the graveyard recalled hearing heavy knocking during the evening hours about a week ago.
Calls are being made for the Police to treat the matter seriously.
