Fisherman found hanging

May 27, 2009 News

Sam Ram Sukhai, a 27-year-old fisherman, was found hanging with a white electrical cord around his neck at his relative’s verandah in Paradise, Back Street Essequibo Coast early yesterday morning.
Reports reaching Kaieteur News stated that the man was behaving very strangely the previous night. He kept saying that persons ‘ran over’ him.
The man’s wife, Chandrotie, said that on Friday, her husband left their Parika, East Bank Essequibo home on a fishing boat to go in the North West. She added that she could not understand how he ended up in Paradise.
The woman added that the night before the body was discovered relatives told her that her husband was behaving strangely.
She said that she decided to visit the community yesterday to take her husband back home, only to arrive at the house, and being greeted by a huge crowd. She said that she then saw that her husband was hanging from the ceiling of the verandah. It was around 8:30 hrs, she added.
The woman is at loss for an explanation why her husband would want to kill himself. The union yielded a two-year-old child and she is currently four months pregnant.
The police later arrived and removed the body. Investigations are continuing.
