Police have arrested five more persons as they continue to investigate the murders of teenaged cousins Isaiah and Joel Henry, whose mutilated bodies were found at Cotton Tree, West Coast Berbice (WCB), two Sundays ago.
Speaking to Sunday Stabroek yesterday, Crime Chief Wendell Blanhum confirmed that the suspects were arrested on Friday.
He said investigators were able to establish that among those in custody are individuals who allegedly saw the Henrys on the day before their bodies were discovered.
Blanhum said the suspects were detained after they initially denied that the saw the cousins on the day in question.
