SAMPLES from the remains found at the Cummings Lodge Cemetery in October and suspected to be the corpse of businessman Mohamed Khan will be taken to Trinidad and Tobago for DNA testing. 

This was confirmed by Crime Chief, Leslie James on Monday during an invited comment from members of the media.

Family members of the businessman came forward and identified the headless and badly decomposed remains of a male as that of the businessman who was last seen in late August when he travelled to Guyana from Brazil.
The remains which were stumbled upon by cleaners working in the vicinity of the cemetery were taken to the Lyken Funeral Home and was later identified by the man’s relatives.

However, the police have maintained that they need to conduct tests to ascertain the true identity of the person whose remains were discovered.
Meanwhile, regarding secondary school teacher, Nyozi Goodman, James said that an officer from the Guyana Police Force has already been identified to travel to Trinidad to retrieve the DNA results from the samples and have them returned to Guyana.

James said that he has been in contact with the mother of the missing school teacher and he last spoke with the woman on Sunday night.
However the relatives of the teacher are saying that they have not been hearing from the Guyana Police Force with respect to the status of the investigation and the samples which were sent to Trinidad for DNA testing.
On Friday last, Royston Waldron, who police had identified as the main suspect in the disappearance of Goodman earlier this year as well as a policewoman several years ago, was killed in a shootout with the police. Two others who were in his company at the time were arrested when the police came under fire from the vehicle in which they were travelling.
