GDF refuses to clarify if latest rank to die by drowning was on duty

THE Guyana Defence Force has refused to confirm if Private 21066 Dellon Nero was on duty when he met his demise on Saturday afternoon in the New River on the Corentyne in Berbice, where he was posted to perform defence duties.

Private Dellon Nero had been working with the GDF for the past seven years, according to relatives. He reportedly drowned when a boat in which he was travelling toppled in the river. This publication was unable to confirm whether Nero was alone in the GDF boat, but the craft was reportedly in the area where ranks would usually carry out their security and patrol operations.

The Guyana Chronicle was told that the father of one was not a swimmer. When this publication contacted the Guyana Defence Force yesterday, a senior communications officer would not confirm if the rank was on active duty when he died, but would only say that the young man was posted to the area.

It was further communicated to this newspaper that a team of investigators from the GDF are in the area, and it is only when they return to the city that the facts surrounding the death of the private would be known.

Speaking with the Guyana Chronicle, Nero’s sister Shonette Sancho, 22, said his death has really affected her, but she would have to hold up until the funeral. She said she had received a phone call which informed that her brother had drowned. “I saw him (in) December. He is a person that loves his job and loves to explore. I’m very disappointed at his death. He don’t know to swim,” Shonette Sancho revealed.

Nero was said to be the only son of his mother, June Sancho, and the only brother of his sister, Shonette Sancho. Asked how Nero’s mother felt about his death, Shonette said she dropped to the floor and couldn’t believe the news. His mother has been devastated by the news. She was speechless and in mourning when this publication approached her. All she could manage to mutter was, “Dellon is my only son”.

Nero’s body was recovered early Sunday morning, and flown into Georgetown later that day. Investigators from both the Guyana Defence (GDF) and Police forces (GPF) were flown to the area where the incident occurred to investigate the matter.

Contact :- childrenofsancho@gmail.com Perhaps, the future generations of Sancho researchers will move this process forward in a radical environment resembling that of the ancestors of Sancho prior to the beginnings of the seventeenth century AD. It’s likely the future generations of Sancho researchers will be able to access information which is not currently available. This Sancho hopes the future generations of Sancho researchers will vindicate his efforts. This Sancho hopes the future generations of Sancho researchers will pay homage to the integrity, Sancho ancestral heritage. He also hopes his fortitude, integrity; sincerity and the love for his Sancho biology will be appreciated and lauded by the future generations of Sancho researchers, and Sancho people, generally, most especially the DNA Sancho. Perhaps, more than enough time efforts has been exhausted exposing the distraction the reprehensible opinions of Kenneth Joyce Robertson and his fictitious account- pu...

Luke-Sancho

It is a given not every person surnamed Luke and/or members of the kinship of Luke are descendants of Sancho. The aim of this exercise is to identify the members of the kinship of Sancho. This effort is focused primarily on the immediate relatives of Mrs. Adelaide Sancho-Luke. However, it would be totally illogical not to recognize the possibility that there are likely other links among the people of Luke and Sancho, other than that of David Luke and Adelaide Sancho. This is part of the up-hill task of accounting for all of the members of the kinship of Sancho, as accurately as humanly possible. Your input will be greatly appreciated. You are hereby asked to share your knowledge of our people, and/or to point us to sources of information; whereby persons connected to the primary ancestor will be identified. Thanks for your time, tolerance and cooperation. Whenever you have pertinent information will please share with researchers? Email: nabaclisman@gmail.com PRIMARY SURNAME: LUKE - The...
