Police have arrested a man who they said confessed to murdering two Brazilian goldminers at Gold Camp Backdam, Mount Ayanganna, Potaro River.
The deceased men have been identified as Geraldo Vieira De Souza and Edivaldo Alves Da Silva. Their skeletal remains have been found.
Police were only made aware of the murders following a report by a villager months later. On Friday investigators were able to question the suspect, Lyfrey Alban. Alban reportedly told police that he was paid by a Brazilian national who he referred to as the “Macushee Man” to kill the men.
