Rough
terrain
keeps
search
party
from
Aliya
Bulkan’s
body
Attempts
to
retrieve
the
body
of
23-year-old
Aliya
Bulkan
still
continue
as
the
search
team
makes
their
way
along
the
rocky
terrain
surrounding
the
basin
of
the
Kaieteur
Falls.
The
body
was
spotted
Tuesday
floating
in
a
pond
at
the
bottom
of
the
falls.
A
senior
official
from
the
Guyana
Defence
Force
(GDF)
told
the
Guyana
Chronicle
that
the
search
team
has
abandoned
its
attempt
to
get
to
the
basin
through
the
gorge
because
of
the
rough
terrain.
Instead,
the
source
revealed
that
a
path
around
the
gorge
is
being
cut
so
that
the
body
of
the
young
woman
can
be
retrieved.
Bulkan
and
a
friend,
Ms.
Lisa
Ahmad,
were
among
eight
others
on
the
trip
to
Kaieteur
Falls,
including
the
pilot,
when
Aliya
jumped
off
and
into
the
gorge.
The
23-year-old’s
sister,
Ms.
Camilla
Bulkan,
when
contacted
yesterday,
could
only
say
that
she
was
not
in
a
position
to
speak
on
the
matter.
