Body of Dredge Creek man found with wounds

The body of a 39-year-old Dredge Creek man was found floating in the Pomeroon River early yesterday morning with wounds to the front and back of the head.

According to a police press release, the body of Linden Henry of Dredge Creek, Upper Pomeroon River was discovered at approximately 6.30 am yesterday.

The man, the police said, was last seen alive last Thursday when he borrowed a paddle boat to transport shovel sticks to Charity. However, the same boat, minus the sticks, was discovered on Saturday.

Henry’s body is awaiting a post-mortem examination and the police are continuing investigations into the circumstances leading to his death.
