Body of security guard from capsized boat recovered

Boris Blair

On the third day after a boat he occupied with three other men capsized in the Mazaruni River, the body of 24-year-old security guard Boris Blair, an employee of Ricky Ramnarine mining camp, was discovered about half an hour from where the boat keeled over.

According to reports reaching the family, the boat was said to have capsized around 9 pm on Sunday, after hitting a tree floating in the river. The four men had reportedly headed out to hunt, and were at the time on their way to a shop.
