Pensioner’s body found at ECD koker

…body of man found on roadway ID

Two bodies discovered in separate and unrelated incidents along the East Coast and East Bank Demerara have been identified, as police continue investigations into the circumstances surrounding both deaths.
Dead is 73-year-old Carlyn Greaves of Sparendaam, East Coast Demerara, and Bryan Moore, who live near the John Fernandes Container Terminal area, Ruimveldt, Georgetown.
The first discovery was made on Tuesday at approximately 17:00h at a koker in Victoria, East Coast Demerara, after residents reported seeing what appeared to be a human floating in a canal on the southern side of the structure.
Alarmed by the sight, residents alerted police who arrived at the scene and conducted a search of the area. The body was subsequently recovered from the water.
Upon examination at the scene, investigators observed that the remains were in an advanced state of decomposition. The body was then transported to the Enmore Regional Hospital, where she was pronounced dead on arrival.
Identification was made on Wednesday when a 27-year-old relative from Plaisance visited and formally identified the body as that of his aunt, 73-year-old Carlyn Greaves of Sparendaam.
Investigators later confirmed that Greaves had been reported missing days earlier. A missing person report was lodged at the Sparendaam Police Station on April 10, at approximately 21:42h, after relatives became concerned over her disappearance.
Her remains have since been transferred to the Memorial Gardens Funeral Home pending a post-mortem examination.
In a separate incident, the body of a man was discovered on April 5 at Farm Access Road, East Bank Demerara, under circumstances that have not yet been fully clarified by Police.
According to information released, the body was found along the access road and subsequently examined by police before being transported to the Memorial Gardens Funeral Home, where it remained unidentified for several days.
Police issued an appeal for relatives or members of the public to assist with identification as checks were conducted across missing persons reports and surrounding communities.
On Wednesday, a relative positively identified him as Bryan Moore.
According to a relative, Moore had been missing for approximately two weeks. During that time, the family conducted searches in areas he was known to frequent and made inquiries at police stations, including in the East Ruimveldt area, in an effort to locate him.
The family said they later saw the release issued by police, and identified him.
Investigations are ongoing.
