The Rosignol/Zeelust Neighbour-hood Democratic Council (NDC) has launched an investigation into the removal of sand from a burial ground located at Murphy Dam Cemetery, West Bank Berbice, resulting in several tombs disappearing.
Regional Vice Chairman, Rion Peters, yesterday said that during the evening he received reports that “some individuals” were doing excavation in the Murphy Dam Cemetery as such he decided to check on the situation yesterday where he discovered “residents who were in grief and who were dissatisfied.”
According to Peters, he is very surprised that persons would want to carry out such an act in a cemetery the “final resting place” for the deceased.
