Handyman found murdered in Safari Inn compound
Police have detained the proprietor of the Safari Inn Hotel after the battered body of a 37-year-old handyman was found at the back of the once-popular night spot at Friendship, East Bank Demerara.
The body of Victor Ramsabad, known as ‘Tun-Tun’, of Eleventh Avenue, Diamond Housing Scheme, was discovered early yesterday morning by the proprietor, Francis Correia. The victim had a gaping wound to the back of the head and lacerations about the body. Police believe that he was killed sometime between Sunday and yesterday.
Dead: Victor Ramsabad called ‘Tun-Tun’
The slain man’s mother told Kaieteur News that he did odd-jobs at several places and had been working at the Safari Inn since he was a boy. Ramsabad’s mother said that she received reports that her son, a heavy drinker, got into an altercation with someone on the premises after taking several bottles of beer from a freezer. According to this report, the handyman had taken the beverages under the pretext of giving them to a customer on credit.
Ramsabad’s mother said that she last saw her son on Friday and that he had told her that he was going to an East Bank Demerara business place where a wedding was being held. She said that she received a call at around 14:00 hrs yesterday from someone who informed her of her son’s death.
The woman said that she then went to the Safari Inn, where she saw her son’s battered body.
When Kaieteur News visited the hotel last evening, one woman who claimed to be a relative of the proprietor said that she was aware of Ramsabad’s death but had no further information.
The body was taken to the Lyken Funeral Parlour.
