Forensic lab has backlog in toxicology screening -Director

The Guyana Forensic Science Laboratory (GFSL) is currently experiencing a backlog in toxicology screening, so says its Director, Delon France.

This issue was raised with France after the forensic lab was criticised over the delayed toxicology testing for city businessman, Nakema Demindraj Deonauth, who was murdered in his Cummings Street apartment on June 12.

Stabroek News in an effort to obtain answers on the probe, contacted the director and the newspaper was told, “At the moment we are experiencing some slight delays with toxicology screening but we are working to resolve it.”

Deonauth was found with multiple wounds on his body, including one to his neck, that suggested he was strangled.
