Skeletal remains found under abandoned house at Mahaica

Skeletal remains were on Friday discovered under an abandoned house at Coconut Walk in Lancaster, Mahaica, East Coast Demerara (ECD); and based on preliminary reports emanating from the Police, 37-year-old Alvin Rambishun of Mon Repos, ECD suspects the remains to be those of his brother Rodrick Applesammy.
Rambishun told Police he was out at sea when he received information from some of his workmates that his 33-year-old brother, who resided in the abandoned house in Lancaster, was found dead, and that his remains were under the house.
Rambishun also related that his sister Tavener Persaud visited the area and discovered the skeletal remains under the abandoned building.
The matter was reported to the Police, who processed the scene and took the skeletal remains to the Memorial Gardens Funeral Home in Georgetown. An investigation is underway.
Back in August, the skeletal remains of Wazir Shaw, called “Buddy”, a fisherman of Nickerie, were found along the Corentyne foreshore in the vicinity of Eversham Village in Region Six (East Berbice-Corentyne) by a farmer who was traversing the area.
It was reported that Shaw had left Nickerie on a fishing expedition on August 9, 2022 and had never returned. One of his relatives positively identified his body by a steel plate implanted in his leg following an accident in which he had been involved several years ago.
