Skeletal remains on Corentyne foreshore identified as Surinamese fisherman

The skeletal remains found on the Corentyne foreshore at Eversham, Region Six (East Berbice-Corentyne), have been identified as that of a Surinamese fisherman.
Family members identified the remains on Tuesday at Corriverton.
On August 9, Actionnieuws Suriname reported that Wazir Shaw also called “Buddy”, a fisherman of Nickerie, was missing.
On Saturday, the skeletal remains of what was believed to be a human being were discovered along the Corentyne foreshore.
Family members of the missing man claimed it could have been him and said that he had a steel plate implanted in his leg following an accident he sustained several years ago.
On Tuesday, relatives were able to identify the remains as a result of the said steel plate.
Shaw left Nickerie on August 9 on a fishing expedition and never returned. A search was conducted and the boat he left shore in was seen drifting in the Corentyne River. (G4)
