Murdered Black Water mining workers were bludgeoned to their heads

Post-mortem examinations conducted on the remains of the two men who were found dead at Black Water Backdam, Cuyuni River, on Thursday, have found that they each died due to blunt force trauma to the head.

The examinations were done yesterday by government pathologist Dr. Nehaul Singh on the bodies of Suresh Bachan and Steven Niles. Niles, Singh found, also suffered a fractured spine.

The Guyana Police Force on Thursday reported that the owner of the gold mining operation, Kevin Faerber, received information from workers at the camp on Thursday regarding the gruesome discovery of the men’s dead bodies.
