Moruca pastor killed in afternoon boat crash

A Moruca, North West District Pastor was killed in a boat accident this afternoon.

The accident victim has been identified as Rudolph Henry.

Reports reaching News Source indicate that the boat collision occurred at around 2pm today in the Moruca Sub-District just outside of Santa Rosa.

 Reports out of the area indicate that while negotiating a turn in the river, a boat collided with Pastor Henry’s much smaller boat in the vicinity of Parakese. He was later pulled out of the river, and pronounced dead.

This is the second fatal river accident to occur within five days in Guyana.

 Last Monday, a 5-year-old girl and her one-year-old brother drowned in the Pomeroon River after the boat they were in capsized.

The now dead children – Reshanna Atkinson and Josiah Atkinson – were travelling with their parents – Bhemnauth Atkinson and Novita Atkinson – and older brother when the accident occurred.

The boat’s engine had reportedly collided with an object in the river resulting in the accident.

Both accidents are under police investigation.
