The Guyana Police Force (GPF) has ruled out narcotics as the white substance found in a car where two bodies were discovered on Saturday morning in the parking lot of the Marriott Hotel, Kingston, Georgetown.
Cops say that various narcotics testing techniques within the scope of the Guyana Forensic Laboratory were conducted on the various rock-like substances and all came back negative.
However, the Officials from the Guyana Forensic Laboratory have indicated to investigators that they suspect the substance may be sodium cyanide which is lethal to human beings in small quantities.
However, this suspicion cannot be confirmed by the officials because the laboratory doesn’t possess the capability to do such testing.
As a consequence, the GPF will resort to sending the samples to an overseas laboratory for further testing.
At about 00:16 hrs this morning (Saturday April 23rd, 2022), ranks at Brickdam Police Station received information that two bodies were lying motionless in a car in the Marriott Hotel parking lot.
The men have been identified as Justin Teixeira, a 34-year-old Flight Attendant and Paishnarine Hansraj, a 25-year-old from Hague Backdam, West Coast Demerara.
