Two remanded over Crabwood Creek shallow grave murder

Two Corentyne men were yesterday remanded to prison after they were read a charge of murder in the case of a man who was found buried in a shallow grave in the backlands of Crabwood Creek, Upper Corentyne.

Ghowcharran Persaud, 37, of Grant 1805 Crabwood Creek, Upper Corentyne reportedly went on a fishing trip with two friends identified as ‘Amir’ and ‘Bharat’ three Thursdays ago. When he did not return home as planned, a search was launched. His body was eventually discovered in a shallow grave at the Crabwood Creek backlands.

A post-mortem examination revealed that Persaud’s cause of death was an incised wound to his head and neck and gunshot injuries to his neck.
