The decomposed body of a 25-year-old miner was on Wednesday discovered in a latrine at Tassawini Landing, North West District, days after he was allegedly beaten and stabbed by three men during a confrontation.
Dead is Darvin David.
The crime is said to have been committed last Friday by three men, two of whom have since been arrested by the police.
Stabroek News understands that David and the suspects were drinking in a shop at Tassawini Backdam, when he accused one of them of trying to rob him of a quantity of cash.
As a result, an argument ensued after which David left for home.
The suspects allegedly followed him and confronted him at the Tassawini Backdam trail.
In the process, they allegedly dealt him several blows about his body and stabbed him to his throat, before tossing him in a creek. They then dumped his body in a latrine.
David’s decomposed body, which was found on Wednesday, has since been buried in a shallow grave with a view to exhumation as the investigation continues.
