– taxi driver arrested

The body of a man believed to be in his mid-thirties was dumped outside the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) on Tuesday evening.
Guyana Times understands the body is suspected to be that of Hilbert Bennett of Lot 17 North Road, Georgetown.
This newspaper was told that the body was dumped from a yellow taxi and the driver has since been taken into custody.
Reports are that a security guard at the Hospital noticed the car lingering in the area and subsequently noticed the driver trying to lift a body out of the vehicle and quickly contacted the Police.
The body was picked up and taken into the Hospital and the driver of the taxi was arrested and handed over to Police.
At the Hospital, an employee identified the body and contacted family members.
A relative of the dead man told Guyana Times that while he was still at a loss about the incident and has not seen the body, they were told it was identified as that of Bennett by a relative who works at the GPHC.
This newspaper was told that Bennett had left home for the East Coast of Demerara ‘line top’ to purchase food.
Attempts were made to contact the young man all afternoon, but to no avail, a relative said.  An investigation into the matter has since been launched.
