Twenty-five-year-old Brian Hermanstyne and Elden Hermanstyne, 24, both of Red Crescent Road, Mackenzie, who allegedly pushed a boat captain, Elick Alexander overboard, were last week charged with stealing the boat and remanded to prison.

Stabroek News contacted the Region Ten Commander, Superinten-dent Hugh Winter, who informed that the two brothers were charged last week with stealing the boat and remanded.

Alexander, 55,  went missing after he was allegedly pushed overboard by the two brothers two weeks ago. His body was recovered one day later.
