(Guyana Graphic September 4, 1968)
Ruimveld Police were yesterday searching for ghouls who dug up a three year old grave at Le Repentir cemetery within the past 48 hours and stole a skull from it.
The Policemen were called out around 9.25 a.m. yesterday ten minutes after cemetery ranger Mohamed Ali and Special Constable Samuel Peters had discovered the freshly opened grave in the allotment consigned to Muslim burials in the eastern section of Le Repentir .
After a search by a municipal grave digger the head of a skeleton was discovered missing.
On the head-board which had been removed from the grave were written “M.A Jabbar Khan died on July 21, 1965 at the age of 59”.
A short distance from the open grave were some shovels and spades which the grave digger said had been stolen from a shed in the cemetery since Friday last.
