The badly battered and decomposed body of an unidentified female was discovered this morning stuffed inside a barrel which was dumped in a drain at Belvedere, Corentyne Berbice. Guyana Standard understands that two male residents from the village went to check on the barrel after a foul stench began emanating from the drain for the past few days.
According to sources, residents had been ignoring the foul smell as they thought a dead animal had been thrown inside of the drain. However, the two residents, upon checking, discovered a human foot and summoned the police. Once police arrived at the scene, they were forced to cut open the barrel to remove the body as it was badly swollen with the face decomposed beyond recognition.
Investigation is ongoing.
