New leads in Henry cousins, Singh investigation – Top Cop

Commissioner of Police (Ag.) Nigel Hoppie on Wednesday disclosed that the Guyana Police Force is following new leads in the investigation of the brutal murders of Isaiah and Joel Henry and Haresh Singh on West Coast Berbice (WCB) in September.

“There are efforts ongoing to ensure that no stone is left unturned as we pursue this matter. Currently the Police are pursuing new leads,” Hoppie said on the side-line of the Commissioning of the Brickdam prison facility.

The Police Commissioner said a detailed report is expected shortly from the five-member Regional Security System (RSS) team which provided assistance to local investigators. Meanwhile, the Argentine team which has offered to lend support should be arriving soon.
“No time has yet been finalised but we are still engaging the persons with a view of ensuring the experts arrive here to bring this matter to finality,” Hoppie stated.

The Argentine Team of Forensic Anthropology will include a forensic pathologist, a forensic anthropologist, and a forensic radiologist.
Additionally, the Top Cop said the official results of the DNA samples which were sent to St. Lucia for testing should be known soon.
The Henry cousins were found brutally murdered in Cotton Tree Village, West Coast Berbice in September. Singh was killed a few days later and his body found in the Number Two Village backdam.

Relatives of the Henry boys only recently expressed frustration at the pace of the investigation.
