Senior police officials from Suriname are currently here to meet with local counterparts as part of the probe of the recent fatal attack on almost two dozen fishers off the coast of Suriname.

Public Relations Officer of the Guyana Police Force, Jairam Ramlakhan, in a press release yesterday, said that a team from Korps Politie Suriname arrived here on Sunday and is expected to depart today.

“This engagement was in connection with ongoing investigations by both forces surrounding the piracy attacks that occurred on 27th April, 2018 and 3rd May, 2018 involving Guyanese fishermen and boats in Suriname,” Ramlakhan said.
