Pensioner found dead in Supenaam creek

Police in Regional Division Two are investigating the discovery of a pensioner who was found in Supenaam Creek, Essequibo Coast (Pomeroon-Supenaam).
Dead is Abdil Khan.
Reports are that on Monday at about 07:10h, police were called after a body was seen floating in the Supenaam Waterfront area. Upon arrival, the body of a male was observed floating near the Farmers’ Wharf.

The body was retrieved from the water and was clad in a vest and boxer shorts. Detectives noted blood oozing from his ears; however, no other marks of violence were observed.
The man’s 34-year-old son-in-law from Wakenaam Island identified Khan’s body and informed police that he is 69-year-old pensioner of Wakenaam Island.
The body was escorted to the Suddie Public Hospital and taken to hospital’s mortuary, awaiting a post-mortem examination.
The man’s son-in-law told investigators that on Sunday at about 11:00h, his father-in-law left Wakenaam alone in his white wooden boat, powered by a 40 HP outboard engine, to travel to Supenaam, Essequibo Coast, to purchase engine parts. However, he did not return.
Later, at about 19:40h, he traveled to Supenaam in search of his father-in-law and found the boat moored at the Supenaam Waterfront, with his father-in-law’s clothes on the ground near the stelling area where the boat was docked. He subsequently went to the Aurora Police Station and filed a missing person report.
Investigators canvassed the area for CCTV footage and identified a camera on a house opposite the mooring site. The footage captured the deceased falling into the water. Police are investigating.
