Members of the Joint Services were up to late Thursday evening searching for the body of a male who is feared dead after he fell off the Bartica Stelling on Wednesday evening.
The missing man has been identified as Mikey Allen. He along with 14 others reportedly arrived on a jet boat at the Stelling from Apaika Landing, Mazaruni, Region Seven (Cuyuni-Mazaruni) around 18:45h on Wednesday and was sitting on the stelling but as he attempted to get up, he fell overboard.
All attempts made to rescue him proved futile since the tide was too high and the current of the water was strong at the time. The man’s address and other details were not available up to press time.
