See full statement from the Guyana Police Force:
Police in Regional Division #2 are investigating the discovery of a male body found in the Supenaam Creek, Essequibo Coast, yesterday (Monday), belonging to Abdil Ramjan Khan, a 69-year-old pensioner of Wakenaam Island.
At about 07:10 hours yesterday, the subordinate officer in charge of the Aurora Police Station received a telephone call that a body was floating in the Supenaam waterfront area.
The scene was subsequently visited by a senior rank and detectives. On arrival, the body of a male was seen floating at the Supenaam waterfront in the vicinity of the Farmers’ Wharf.
The body was fished out of the water, examined by detectives and blood was observed oozing from the ear. However, no marks of violence were seen on his body.
The body was later identified by Navindra Thomas, a 34-year-old minibus driver of Wakenaam, as that of his father-in-law, Abdil Ramjan Khan, a 69-year-old pensioner of Wakenaam Island.
The body was escorted to the Suddie Public Hospital, where it was seen and examined by Dr Beharry and pronounced ‘dead on arrival’.
Khan’s body was further escorted to the Suddie Public Hospital Mortuary, awaiting a post-mortem examination.
Navindra Thomas was interviewed by the Police and he stated that on Sunday, 7th September 2025, at about 11:00 hours, his father-in-law, Abdil Khan (now deceased), left Wakenaan alone with his wooden boat powered by a 40 HP outboard engine to go to Supenaam to purchase engine parts, but he never returned.
Thomas further told investigators that on the said date at about 19:40 hours, he travelled to Supenaam in search of his father-in-law and upon his arrival, he saw his father-in-law’s boat moored at the Supenaam waterfront and his clothes were on the ground next to the stelling area leading to where the boat was moored.
As a result, Thomas went to the Aurora Police Station and made a missing person report.
The scene was further scrutinised and canvassed for CCTV cameras, and these were identified on a house opposite where the boat was moored.
The CCTV camera footage was reviewed, which captured Khan falling into the water.
Investigation in progress.
