PARAMARIBO, Suriname — 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.
