The acting Head of the Criminal Investigations Department of the Guyana Police Force said the prime suspects have since led crime scene detectives to an area where they threw the body of Leonard Archibald overboard and his bicycle has since been recovered.

Up to Friday evening, police, relatives of the lad and public-spirited citizens were searching the Berbice River for his body.
Sources said the cycle was found aback one of the suspect’s home which is located two houses away from the Sister’s Village Magistrates’ Court, East Bank Berbice.
