Man dies after experiencing chest pains
Police in Region Seven (Cuyuni-Mazaruni) are probing the death of a 57-year-old miner who reportedly passed away on Thursday, shortly after complaining of feeling unwell.
Dead is Edvaldo Coutinho Torres of Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Police Headquarters said Torres died around 05:00 hrs at Sand Hill Backdam, Mazaruni, Region 7.
According to a Police report, investigations so far revealed that Torres was preparing for the day’s work when he started experiencing severe chest pains.
The man, nevertheless, went to take a bath. Sometime after, he was found lying on the ground motionless. Police did not say who found Torres but noted that the matter was subsequently reported to the police.
Torres’ body was eventually examined; no visible marks of violence were observed.
The man’s body is at the Bartica Hospital mortuary awaiting transportation to the Georgetown Public Hospital for a post-mortem examination.
Man finally arrested for 2007 murder

Dharamlall rape allegation: Gov’t strictly adhering to Sexual Offences law – Jagdeo
Nigel Dharamall, Vice President Dr. Bharrat Jagdeo has reiterated that the government has been strictly adhering to the 2010 Sexual Offences Act.
“We’ve allowed the process outlined by law, the 2010 Act that we passed when I was President…we’ve allowed that process to be followed strictly to the letter of the law.
“We have not attempted to politicise the matter,” Dr. Jagdeo said on Thursday during a press conference held at the Office of the President.
Even as he says that the government is doing all that it can by adhering to the law, Jagdeo reminded reporters that Dharamlall is on administrative leave.
He also reiterated the government’s zero tolerance for any misconduct. If Dharamlall is found guilty, Jagdeo said he will face full repercussions of his actions.
The Vice President, however, opined that several groups, including the opposition A Partnership for National Unity (APNU), have been politicising the matter instead of allowing established processes to unfold.
“By APNU making this a political issue, they may have even influenced people’s opinions on the matter when people were dealing with the issue purely on its merit,” the Vice President said.
He added that some Non-Governmental Organisations also appear to politicise the matter and expressed his dismay that those bodies too, are not seemingly allowing the legal processes to unfold.
Dharamlall was arrested on Monday and subsequently released on $1 million station bail as investigations continue.
Additionally, the politician proceeded on administrative leave this week in light of the allegations that he raped a 16-year-old schoolgirl in December 2022.
The case file in relation to the rape allegation was hand-delivered to the Chambers of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) on Thursday. The DPP is now tasked with reviewing the file and providing legal advice which will determine whether the politician should be charged with rape.

3 présumés bandits lynchés à Laboule
Le lynchage de 3 bandits dans le quartier de Laboule, à Pétion ville soulève de nouvelles interrogations sur la réaction populaire face à la violence des gangs.
Les 3 présumés bandits ont été identifiés comme des anciens membres du gang Ti Makak.Les résidents, de la zone de Laboule et Thomassin, alertés par le groupe d’auto défense, ont attaqué les forces de l’ordre qui conduisaient les présumés criminels au tribunal de Pétion ville.
Les 3 individus avaient été appréhendés quelques jours plus tôt par les policiers.Les habitants ont attaqué les forces de l’ordre à coup de jets de pierres. Un policier a été blessé lorsque la patrouille a tenté d’opposer une résistance aux agresseurs.
De nombreux spécialistes ont fait valoir qu’en dépit de la disparition des barrages routiers, dans les quartiers, les groupes d’auto défense continuent de faire montre de vigilance.
Les chefs de gang redoutent plus que tout la mobilisation populaire qui implique le lynchage.Les cas de kidnappings ont pratiquement cessé au sud de la capitale depuis le début de l’opération Bois Calé et le démantèlement du gang de Ti Makak.
