POLICE, on Sunday, responded to a report of a body being discovered at the Hope Beach, East Coast Demerara (ECD).
According to information from the Guyana Police Force (GPF), a mangrove ranger alerted police about the discovery around 11:30 hrs.

“A party of police led by a sergeant visited the scene. On arrival, the decomposed body of a male clad in a cream and black striped jersey and cream underwear was seen lying motionless, facing up in an advanced state of decomposition,” the police said.
The scene was processed and photographed, and the body was examined.

“Several persons in the vicinity were questioned. However, no useful information was obtained. Investigation is ongoing,” Police said.
