Nobody knows who is next to be brutally murdered

Sep 12, 2011 Letters

Dear Editor,
September 14, 2011 will make one year since the brutal slaying of Sheema Mangar who was employed at the time of her death at Demerara Bank Ltd. Unto this day the killer remains at large, which does not inspire much confidence in the rather slow pace in which the police authorities are proceeding with the investigation.
This certainly must add to the frustration and agony that her parents and family members are experiencing in addition to the malicious destruction of the small memorial that was erected at the spot where she met her demise.
This act committed by some ‘vandal’ in broad daylight was deliberate and a vulgar display of how degenerate, inhuman and lawless our society has become, causing law abiding citizens to live in a state of fear and anxiety.
As citizens, we are all extremely vulnerable, nobody knows who is next to be brutally murdered or hit down and left to die on the streets like some stray dog.
The underlying factor remains that life has become so dirt cheap in Guyana that for a cell phone Sheema Mangar was cruelly crushed to death, and this is extremely revolting. And although for weeks people expressed their disgust at the gruesome manner in which she was killed and the reluctance of police authority to perform their duty for which they are paid by the citizens of this country to pursue and apprehend the killer and have justice served, nothing has happened.
Every day we are awakened to the news of some horrifying murder, crash up, robberies, a fanatical suicide rate and an unprecedented wave of violence against women.
There is no consolation in the police press releases that the police are continuing their investigations, which actually means another case for the cold case cabinet. In this manner, literally hundreds of people have been brutally murdered and their cases have all ended up in the cold case cabinet. It is only the Sheema Mangar family that has refused to give up their quest for justice.
Sheema Mangar’s dreams to be a certified accountant all came to an abrupt end on that faithful afternoon of September 14, 2011. Her death is a loss to our country and our already small, diminishing population.
