Decomposing body found at Triumph
Undertakers and relatives removing Singh’s body
Relatives of 55-year-old Mohan Singh of 45 Side Line Dam, Agriculture Road Triumph, East Coast Demerara, yesterday, stumbled upon his decomposing body.
Lalita Singh, the dead man’s niece, told this publication that she and her husband had gone to the house to pick mangoes when she discovered the body.
Singh said that after she entered her uncle’s front yard she began calling his name but no one answered.
The woman said that her husband went around the house to pick the mangoes and she went inside to check on her uncle. She said that the front door was open.
“I went inside and saw my uncle lying in his bed,” Singh said.
She told Kaieteur News that she quickly ran out the house to a neighbour’s home to call relatives.
One of the dead man’s sisters who was at the scene, Doreen Kendall, said that the last time she saw her brother was last month.
The woman said that her brother would drink heavily, and would get seizures afterwards. She further stated that her brother had remigrated some years back from the British Virgin Islands.
According to Kendall neighbours had seen her brother on Sunday. The police have taken statements from the niece and the sister and are continuing their investigations.
The man leaves to mourn his wife and four children who all reside in the British Virgin Islands.
