Simple funeral for notorious gunman

Jun 21, 2008 News

– ‘ Uncle Willie’, ‘Chung Boy’ died of shock and hemorrhage

Slain gunman Cecil Simeon Ramcharran, who was fingered in the deaths of over 23 people, including five children, is to be buried at Leonora, West Coast Demerara on Tuesday.  
Kaieteur News understands that Ramcharran’s relatives have planned a simple funeral for the slain gunman, who came to an ignominious end last Monday.
Sources said that autopsies on Ramcharran, also called ‘Limpy’ and 16-year-old Robin Chung, called ‘Chung Boy’, revealed that they both died from shock and hemorrhage due to gunshot wounds. Persons who viewed Ramcharran’s body said he was shot in the face, arms and lower body.  
Chung was shot in the abdomen. His body is lying at Sandy’s Funeral Parlour.
Ramcharran and Chung were shot dead on Monday at Goat Farm, a community on the left bank of the Berbice River some seven miles south of Ituni.
The two had reportedly been part of the so-called ‘Fine Man gang’ that was holed up at a camp in the Christmas Falls area, some 90 miles south of Kwakwani, in an area that was uninhabited and said to be miles away from civilization.
The Police had raided that camp on June 6 and killed Otis ‘Mud Up’ Fiffee, 17.
Ramcharran was fingered in the killing of Minister Satyadeo Sawh, his two siblings and security guard Curtis Robertson at Earl’s Court, La Bonne Intention, on April 22, 2006. Wanted bulletins had also been issued for Ramcharran and Chung following the Bartica and Lusignan slayings.
