Feb 19, 2012 News

 

 

 

Sukdeo Dharamdat, a Mahaica poison victim, was discharged from the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) last Friday, while his son, Chaitram, 17, remains in hospital.
Dharamdat, 48, told Kaieteur News that although he was discharged, he is still “feeling sick and weak”. He stated that he cannot do any work on his farmland because of his condition.
Chaitram, the only Mahaica poison-victim in the hospital, said that he is still getting a terrible stomach pain and his throat is “hurting”.
“The poison wuk more fast on he because he bin just come home from work and he was tired and hungry but me bin home whole day. That’s why it ain’t wuk so bad on me,” the father told Kaieteur News.
Sukdeo said that he ate three hassars while his son ate two.
His wife, Nandranie Sukdeo, 38, and their two daughters, Hemwanttie, 16, amd Muneshwari, 13, said they only ate the gravy since the hassar tasted “funny”.
The teenager who confessed to lacing her family’s hassar curry meal with a potentially deadly dose of monocrotophos is reportedly shedding bitter tears in the Juvenile Centre.
Police said that they have discovered a book from the family’s Handsome Tree, Mahaica home with threatening phrases.
In the book, ‘someone’ said that they will ‘done away’ with the entire family when Eshwardat (Dharamdat’s eldest son) moved to Venezuela.
The book also contained a list of hotel reservations along with contact numbers.
According to the police, the 14-year-old said that the book doesn’t belong to her.
On February 19, last, five Mahaica family members were rushed to the Mahaicony Cottage Hospital after they had eaten a hassar curry meal. They were then transferred to the GPHC, where they immediately underwent treatment.
