The body of a male of East Indian descent that was discovered with a single bullet wound to the head on Monday in Guyana is said to be that of Nitinder Oemrawsingh, a rice exporter from neighbouring Suriname.
While Guyanese police are still awaiting official identification family members of the deceased have identified him from photographs that were circulating on social media after the discovery. Meanwhile his lawyer Irvin Kanhai has confirmed to Surinamese media that he was informed by the brother of the businessman that his client was shot dead. Lyndon Alves, head of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Guyana Police Force, said that he is in contact with his counterpart in Suriname to officially establish the identity of the victim.

Oemrawsingh was named a person of interest by the Surinamese police in the investigation of a 2,300 kilos cocaine seizure last week at the Jules Sedney Port in Paramaribo. While he wasn’t regarded as a suspect as yet, acting police commissioner Roberto Prade said during a press conference on Saturday that the exporter was wanted for questioning.
