BREAKING: Three to be charged for murder of Henry cousins

The Director of Public Prosecutions has advised the Guyana Police Force to go ahead with murder charges against three West Coast Berbice men for the murder of Joel and Isaiah Henry.

The three men who are expected to face charges as early as tomorrow have been identified as Anil Sanchara, Vinod Gopaul and Akash Singh.

Two of the men, Sanchara and Gopaul, are to be charged jointly while Singh will face his own murder charge.

News Source understands that the Police made a major breakthrough in its investigations in the past few days after one of the men who was being closely watched as a suspect admitted to the crime.

The teenage cousins, Isaiah and Joel Henry, were found murdered in the Cotton Tree Backdam, West Coast Berbice one day after they went to pick coconuts in the #3 Village backdam.

Their bodies were found mutilated and with multiple chop wounds including slashes to their necks and backs.

The bodies also appeared to have been moved from the scene of the crime and placed in another area where they were eventually discovered.

The double murder led to days of protest action on the West Coast of Berbice as family members and villagers demanded justice.

Just recently, family members picketed the Criminal Investigations Department over the lack of updated information on the investigations.

The Guyana Police Force has been receiving assistance with its investigations from the Regional Security System and the US Federal Bureau of Investigations.

Investigators have been advised to charge three men with the murder of the Henry cousins inn West Berbice in early September, 2020, according to well-placed sources.

Sources said the advice was provided by the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Chambers earlier Thursday that Vinod “Magga” Gopaul and Anil “Tampoie” Sanchara be charged jointly with the murder of Joel and Isaiah Henry between September 5 and 6, 2020.

Gopaul,31, had at one time escaped from prison.

Police sources said that the DPP advised that Akash “Monkey” Singh should be charged separately with the murder of the Henry cousins.

The sources indicate that there is strong and compelling evidence against Singh and that he has named a possible accomplice who police are trying to locate. One of the suspects was expected to assist investigators with more precise information.

The bodies of 18-year old Joel Henry, a labourer, and 16-year old Isaiah Henry were found aback the West Coast Berbice village of Cotton Tree on September 6, one day after they had left their home at Number Three Village, West Coast Berbice to pick coconuts to sell.

Police is said to have received assistance from the United States Federal Bureau of Investigations into the incident.
