Drug addict finds himself trapped in tomb

Nov 04, 2009 News


– police effect rescue

A 32-two-year-old man is counting his lucky stars and singing the praises of members of the Guyana Police Force.
Patrick Shivraj was brought to the Georgetown Public Hospital in an unconscious state, minutes after the police dragged him from a tomb that he had set out to raid.
Reports reaching Kaieteur News indicate that the man and with six others were in the Le Repentir cemetery breaking into tombs when residents summoned the police.
The other tomb raiders managed to evade the police but Shivraj was the unfortunate one. He found that he had nowhere to run so he dived into a small opening he had made on one of the tombs.  He dived through this opening in a bid to avoid being caught by the police. But somehow, something in there forced Shivraj to seek a way out of the tomb and as fast as he could. He never said why.
Shivraj after realizing that he couldn’t get out started screaming for the police to come and rescue him.
The officers had to break open the tomb to rescue Shivraj who was panting for breath and semiconscious. They took him immediately to the hospital.
Hospital sources told this newspaper that Shivraj was delirious when he arrived there.
The source further stated that Shivraj was shouting to the top of his voice that things were crawling about his body.
“De man hollering that something deh on he skin and I can’t see nothing on he skin,” the source said.
Shivraj was admitted to the Male Surgical Ward after an examination but before nightfall he could not be found. Nurses did not see him leave but they were certain that no supernatural being whisked him away.
