Police have recovered the bodies of two security guards who tragically drowned after their boat capsized in the Puruni River, Middle Mazaruni, on Wednesday afternoon. The victims have been identified as Patrice Grimmond and Kevis Robin, both employees of a private security firm.
According to police reports, the aluminum vessel was traveling from a backdam area to Puruni Landing when it overturned around 4:00 PM. Four individuals were on board; two, including the captain, managed to swim to safety.
Grimmond’s body was recovered on the same day as the incident, while Robin’s body was found the following day. Authorities noted that no marks of violence were observed on either body, which have been taken to the Bartica Hospital Mortuary for post-mortem examinations.
In addition, police retrieved two firearms—a shotgun and an AR rifle—along with ammunition belonging to the security company. These weapons and the ammunition have been lodged as part of the ongoing investigation.
