Followup to my April 2 post ...

The FBI has sent agents to the South American country of Guyana to help investigate the recent slaying of two American missionaries. The seven-member FBI team arrived yesterday to look into the murder of Richard Hicks and his wife, Charlene, who were found dead a week ago at a farm in San Jose district, about 12 miles outside Lethem, the Associated Press reported.

Guyana police have asked Brazilian authorities to help track two suspects who they believe murdered the duo last Wednesday night and fled with cash stolen from the thatched house they lived in on the ranch, The Guyana Chronicle reported. The prime suspects are a Brazilian who worked at the cattle ranch and his Guyanese cousin, sources said.
