It has been almost two weeks since a woman reported being bitten in the creek at the Splashmins Resort reportedly by a piranha, the second such incident in five weeks at the same facility.
To date the authorities have been silent on both occurrences at Linden/Soesdyke Highway resort.
This newspaper made several efforts to contact the Ministry of Tourism, Industry and Commerce as well as the Fisheries Department of the Ministry of Agriculture, to no avail. However, the Public Relations Officer for the Tourism Ministry had previously told Stabroek News that the ministry was aware of the incidents and was looking into them. The resort has not provided any information to Stabroek News despite repeated calls.
