Suspected body of missing cane harvester to be exhumed for autopsy

Reginald Ramswamey

After calls by the relatives of missing Corentyne cane harvester Reginald Ramswamey, a body suspected to be his will be exhumed and an autopsy will be conducted as part of a police investigation.

The calls for the exhumation were made after relatives of Ramswamey, 46, of Ankerville, Port Mourant, who went missing on October 6, discovered that a body suspected to be his was found next to the Port Mourant Primary School on October 8. It was later buried on October 15 after no identification was done.

Commander of ‘B’ Division Lyndon Alves yesterday told Stabroek News that the body would be exhumed on Monday, when the pathologist will be available to conduct the post-mortem examination.
