1 killed, 3 missing in pirate attack near Guyana
GEORGETOWN- Authorities in Guyana say one fisherman has been killed and three others are missing following a pirate attack in waters near the South American country.
Police said Monday that they will file murder and piracy charges against five men who were identified by a 43-year-old captain who survived the weekend attack off the coast of neighboring Suriname.
Police Commander Ian Amsterdam told The Associated Press that pirates attacked the Guyanese crew with machetes, threw them overboard and seized their engine, equipment and fish.
