The body was subsequently pulled from the water but upon examination, no marks of violence were detected. The body was taken to the Arokium Funeral Home awaiting a post-mortem examination.
The body of 36-year-old Telisha Domandeo of Crabwood Creek was found at Creek Dam Betsy Ground Village, East Canje, Berbice, on Friday. Soon after, the Police issued a wanted bulletin for the now dead man.
Upon discovery, the woman’s body was wrapped in a blanket with her head almost severed from the neck. The couple reportedly shared a relationship and has a 10-year-old child together.
However, since the gruesome discovery, Durga had not been seen or heard from and as such, family members launched a frantic search for him.
According to his brother, Chowdharilall Rameshant, checks were made along the Canje River on Saturday but nothing was found.
However, he explained that they were informed about the discovery of his brother’s body and immediately went to the area where they saw Durga lying face down in the river.
Rameshant related that they subsequently informed the Police and waited for them to retrieve the body. “There were no marks of violence. The Police say no foul play unless he drowned or drank poison,” the brother indicated.
