Bodies of boat accident victims exhumed
Transported to Suddie Mortuary for investigations
By Rajendra Prabulall
THE swollen and decaying bodies of two victims of the Iron Punt Boat disaster off the Waini Coast in Region One, (Barima/Waini) were dug up and transported to the Essequibo Coast Funeral Home Mortuary for investigations.

According to reports, several relatives of the deceased accompanied by Police Officers and staff of the funeral home, left Charity around 3:00 hrs Friday morning for the Waini Sea Coast to recover the bodies.

Reports said the badly decomposed bodies of Kamala Gyandat 49, also known as Leela, of Enterprise, East Coast and Nizam Baksh of Caledonia, Wakenaam Island, Essequibo River, were recovered from shallow graves among the shells on the Waini Beach in the North West District.

Reports said the vessel in which Gyandat and four other persons were retuning to Guyana from Venezuela last week sank when fierce waves tore it to bits minutes after its 75-horsepower engine broke down on becoming entangled in a seine in the Atlantic Ocean.

The bodies of Carlos Dyal and Ricardo Dyal were not recovered from the beach because their graves were not located.

Carlos and Ricardo were also travelling with their grandfather Nizam on the ill-fated boat when tragedy struck last Thursday night.

Relatives are calling on the Minister of Home Affairs, and Commissioner of Police to speed up investigations into the death of the victims. Relatives said they are not satisfied with the explanations given by the Captain of the boat and another sailor concerning the deaths of their loved ones.

For the past five years, many Guyanese have lost their lives in the Iron Punt Area while coming back to their homeland from Venezuela. No one has ever died while going to Venezuela.
