Body of Venezuelan youth retrieved from Cuyuni River

The body of the Venezuelan youth who had gone missing after he fell overboard into the Cuyuni River on Monday has been retrieved.

Police had previously identified the youth only as “Bryan” and gave his age as 19. Up to yesterday, when his body was found around 11 am, he was still to be properly identified.

The body was discovered by a boatman who was passing through in the same part of the river where his body was said to have gone under.
