The contractor who was blamed for the removal of material from a Region Five burial ground says no graves were damaged and he owns the land where the sand was taken from.

Alvin Chowramootoo when contacted on Friday  insisted that no graves were damaged at the Murphy Dam Cemetery. According to him, his section is located a distance away from the burial ground.

He said he has a bill of sale for part of the land and transport for part, all of which was acquired in 2014.
