The lifeless body of 24-year-old Vishal Miguel was found on Wednesday in Unity, Parika, East Bank Essequibo (EBE), suspected to have been tortured and murdered.
While the Guyana Police Force is yet to release information on the alleged crime, Guyana Times understands that the young man, who worked at the Unity Foreshore as a security officer, left home on Monday evening and never returned.
After he did not return home, his relatives travelled to the area where they found his body. One of his eyes was reportedly dug out, while several of his teeth were broken, and there were burn marks on parts of his face and stomach.
His head also has a scar suspected to have been caused by fire. Reports suggested that Miguel was killed during a robbery. Thus far, it is believed that five 75-HP outboard engines were stolen from the scene.
As news spread about the gruesome discovery, people in the area are now fearful for their lives and believe that the crime might have been committed by a group of Spanish-speaking individuals.
Attempts to contact the relative of the dead man proved futile.
