Two bodies found on seawall

Two bodies were this afternoon found lodged between the rocks on the seawalls behind the Pegasus Hotel.

The identities of the couple—a man and a woman—are unknown. Investigators on the scene said there were no marks of violence on the bodies but a bottle suspected to have contained poison was found nearby. It is suspected that they both drank the liquid and died.

It was a man passing the area around 5 pm who made the discovery and he immediately contacted the police.

Crime Chief Wendell Blanhum told Stabroek News that ranks received a call that there were two bodies lying on the sea wall. He was unable to provide more information except to say that ranks were on the scene conducting investigations.
