Several persons were arrested in connection with the murders of the two mining workers who were found dead last week at Black Water Backdam, Cuyuni River.
A source told Stabroek News that those arrested include mining workers from their mining camp as well as persons outside the camp. They are presently at the Bartica Police Station as the matter continues to be investigated.
The Guyana Police Force last Thursday reported that the owner of the gold mining operation, Kevin Faerber, received information from workers at the camp about the gruesome discovery of the men’s dead bodies.
