Mother claims son was murdered

Oct 19, 2010 News

Four persons are in custody, including two policemen, as investigation continues into the shooting death of a 20 -year old Neighbourhood policeman, Nityanand Baginauth of 35 Scotsburg.
The young man allegedly shot himself in the head with a detective’s gun on Sunday at a house at Crabwood Creek where the men were drinking.  A post mortem conducted by Dr. Nehaul Singh on the body of the neighbourhood policeman revealed that he died from shock and hemorrhage due to gunshot wound.
It was reported that the victim and his girlfriend had broken up recently and the young man had threatened to kill himself.
However, Baginauth’s mother, Shabrena Bacchus, in an interview with this newspaper yesterday, refuted what the police had stated and is calling for a full investigation into her son’s death.
The woman said that it is impossible for her son to commit suicide, since he was not suicidal. She is adamant that some thing is amiss.
She said that her son who is the second of four children had always wanted to be a policeman and would always hang around the police station, until he was accepted as a member of the neighbourhood police.
On the day in question, she said that her son made several telephone contacts in which he told her that he was at Crabwood drinking with some policemen and some other persons. She said during the conversations he promised to come home.
She said there was an accident in the vicinity of her home and she had gone to the accident scene, when another police friend came and delivered the dreaded message. She said that the police are not telling her much, but she has a feeling that some thing is not right.
She said that it was impossible for her son to shoot himself. “My son had a broken middle finger on his right hand, so how come he would hold a gun to shoot?” She also said that her son was drunk so how come he would relieve the detective of his gun?
She admitted that her son and his girlfriend had some problems, but said they never lived together and that it was the girl who had dislocated his finger.
