Relatives of Jeffroy Girwar, one of the two men who drowned on Thursday last in the Makari River, in Region Seven, are calling for a thorough investigation of his death, which they believe is the result of foul play.
Girwar, 26, of 111 Miles, Mahdia, Region Eight (Potaro-Siparuni) and another man, identified only as ‘Fineman,’ are reported to have drowned after a boat they were travelling in across the river sank on Thursday night.
Guyana Police Force spokesman Jairam Ramlakhan, in a statement to the press, yesterday noted that a post-mortem examination performed by government pathologist Dr. Nehaul Singh gave Girwar’s cause of death as drowning and trauma to the head. Ramlakhan also said that the suspected relatives of “Fineman” were travelling to Georgetown to positively identify the body before an autopsy is done.
