The partly decomposed body of a 65-year-old man was on Tuesday discovered in a drain at Parika Backdam, East Bank Essequibo. The now dead man was last seen several days ago in a drunken state heading into the backdam.
The deceased has been identified as Mahadeo (only name given), a pensioner who lived at Parika Backdam.
On Tuesday about 2:30 pm, the police received a call informing them of a body that was found lying motionless in the drain.
