For five girls of Berbice, Christmas isn’t about the presents or traditions, to them it’s about family, more so their mother.

Heavy flooding in East Berbice yesterday, which some residents feel was exacerbated by a broken dam, put a damper on the Christmas spirit, leaving many residents confined to their homes.

Two Berbice constables were yesterday remanded to prison at the Whim Magis-trate’s Court, after Magistrate Charlyn Artiga denied them bail.

A Number 79 Village cambio dealer was robbed of millions in cash and jewellery early yesterday morning when a gang of 14 men, who were heavily armed including with AK-47s, invaded his home.

Developed, yet quaint, Gangaram village is nestled between Betsy Ground and New Forest in East Canje, Berbice.

A violent storm tore through several villages on the East Coast of Berbice during the wee hours yesterday flattening one home, damaging others and leaving residents with millions in losses.

Babylon, Corentyne, Berbice also called Number 64 Village is home to approximately 600 people.

One of the survivors of Sunday’s fatal accident along the Number 49 Village public road, Corentyne, where a car collided with a stray horse, has admitted that the driver was intoxicated and had been speeding when the accident occurred.
