THE body of a 60-year-old man from Penal was fished out of a river over the weekend after another man allegedly beat him.

Dead is Lucky “Pam” Jagdeo of Ramnarine Trace in San Francique.

Reports are that he was seen liming with a group of people on the afternoon of February 23 near a bar in the area.
