Police seeking help to ID body found outside GDF headquarters
As investigations continue into the discovery of a male body in the canal outside the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) Headquarters on Carifesta Avenue on Monday morning, the Guyana Police Force is seeking the public’s assistance in identifying the now dead man.
According to the Police, the body is of African descent and appears to be in the late 30s. At the time of the discovery, which was about 06:00h, the man was shirtless and cladded in black jeans.
Commander of A Division (Georgetown-East Bank Demerara), Leslie James, said on Monday that the body bore marks of violence, which suggest foul play was involved. Nevertheless, the body is currently at the Lyken Funeral Home awaiting identification and post-mortem.
