63 beach murders: Prime suspect confesses

The prime suspect in the gruesome murder of two men at the famous #63 beach on the Corentyne Coast has reportedly confessed under interrogation.

The News Room was reliably informed that the Major Crimes Unit of the Guyana Police Force made a breakthrough in the case after they arrested approximately six persons at the weekend.

The prime suspect, who is in his 20s, of Number 65 Village had reportedly stolen a “water tank” from one of the victims, Canada-based Guyanese, Vivekanand Narpatty, 71.

A reliable Police source told the News Room that investigators found a phone that belonged to Narpatty in the possession of the main suspect along with an unlicensed gun which they believed were used during the crime.

The badly decomposed bodies of Narpatty and his employee, Harry Persaud called “Guana”, of Number 68 Village, Corentyne Berbice, were discovered on December 27, 2019, at the Sunsplash Holiday Beach Resort

The News Room had previously reported that Narpatty was on vacation in Guyana and was staying at the Resort, which he once operated. The business was no longer functioning, and his relatives said it was his intention to renovate the facility.

Police revealed that Narpatty was found dead with two toes from his left foot severed; one was seen next to his body and the other was not located.

Narpatty was wearing a red t-Shirt and a pair of brown short pants.

Persaud was found 15 feet away from Narpatty’s body. Both hands were tied behind the back and onto a post in the balcony; the right foot was also bounded to the said post with a rope. The left foot was completely severed from the ankle.

The body was facing downward; he was clad in a short brown pants only.

Police found blood spattered on the wall and floor of the southeastern bedroom which was occupied by Narpatty. Both bodies were in a highly decomposed state.

Narpatty came to Guyana on December 20.
