The Guyana Police Force says it will investigate the murder of 17-year-old Haresh Singh with the same intensity that is being employed in relation to the murder of 16-year-old Isaiah Henry and 19-year-old Joel Henry.
Singh was found murdered this morning at a backdam at Number Three Village, West Coast Berbice.
INews understands that he is a relative of one of the suspects in custody in relation to the murders of the Henry boys.
According to the police, Singh had “left home on his motorcycle to attend his farm in the Backdam of No. 3 Vilage, West Coast Berbice, sometime after his relatives saw smoke arising from the said backdam and left to enquire when the discovered the body of Haresh Singh lying motionless and bleeding from the nose. His motorcycle was also discovered burnt.”
