More families are now seeking justice after losing memories of their loved ones due to the sand being moved from the burial ground in Murphy Dam, Rosignol, Berbice by a well-known contractor in the area.
The matter was reported to the Rosignol/Zeelust Neighbourhood Democratic Council (NDC) and an investigation was launched. Region Five Vice Chairman, Rion Peters, had stated that according to the NDC layout plan the area was officially identified as a communal burial ground. More persons are coming forward with claims that their family members’ tombs have been uprooted.
On October 15th, Juliet Dukhi, wrote a letter to Stabroek News expressing how distressed she was as she tried to grapple with the situation. She highlighted that one of the graves was the resting place of her mother and this event has left her drained emotionally and psychologically.
