POLICE are investigating the alleged murder of Marcus Adrian, a 36-year-old logger, of Hururu Mission, Upper Berbice River.
According to reports, the incident occurred around 12:30 hours at 7 Mile, Hururu Mission, on Monday.

The Guyana Police Force (GPF) reported that investigations revealed Adrian and the suspect, a 28-year-old tractor operator of Hururu Mission, were well-known to each other since they were friends and used to cut logs together.
Investigations also indicate that the men were consuming high wine, Guinness and Turbo and were allegedly intoxicated.

“They had a misunderstanding, and the suspect threw Adrian to the ground and [reportedly] dealt him several chops to his neck and face. Adrian reportedly got up and ran, but he collapsed at the centre of the trail,” the police said.

The suspect was apprehended by the Toshao and handed over to the police. The body, which was found lying on the Hururu Trail in a pool of blood, was escorted to the Linden Hospital Complex. The scene was processed and photographed. The suspect remains in police custody.
