Post-mortem examinations conducted by Government Pathologist Dr Nehaul Singh on the remains of wanted men Rondell Rawlins and Jermaine Charles have revealed that they died from shock and haemorrhage due to multiple gunshot wounds.

The examinations were done on Monday.

Meanwhile Seon Grant, the other man shot at the Timehri squatting area during the initial Joint Services operation died of a severed spine due to gunshot wounds.

The bodies of the three men have since been handed over to relatives for burial.

Grant may have been killed by Charles or Rawlins as they suspected that he had given information to the lawmen about their whereabouts. On the morning of the operation Grant  had been returning to his Timehri shack where he harboured the men  when it is believed that they shot him.

The joint services later cornered Rawlins and Charles in an unfinished concrete building in Kuru Kururu some five hours later and shot them dead.
