The Guyana Human Rights Association (GHRA) yesterday said that it has approached the United Nations Resident Coordinator here with a view to having international forensic experts investigate the recent murders of young men in West Coast Berbice.
In a statement, the GHRA said that the UN is currently reviewing the request and the logistical implications of it.
On Sunday, the mutilated bodies of cousins Isaiah Henry, 16, and Joel Henry, 19, were found in the Cotton Tree backdam. On Wednesday in what appeared to be a reprisal killing, the body of Haresh Singh, 17, was found in the Number Two Village backdam. Three of Singh’s relatives were arrested in relation to the murder of the Henry cousins.
