Corriverton teen died of perforated heart and lungs
….one suspect still on the run
A post mortem on dead Corriverton teen, 17-year-old Sasenarine ‘Suraj’ Persaud, has revealed that he died of perforation to the heart and lungs and a wound to the chest. Dr Nehaul Singh performed the examination yesterday at the New Amsterdam Hospital.
The young man was stabbed and chopped to death on Sunday by two men, believed to have been deported a few years ago from the United States; only names given are ‘Sham’, 30 and ‘Chris’, 38–two brothers.
One of the killers is still on the run while another is under tight guard, manacled to a bed in the male ward of the New Amsterdam Hospital. He is said to be recovering from an incision he made to his throat shortly after allegedly chopping Persaud.
Family members last evening related that the police at Springlands Police Station had, earlier in the day, informed them that the suspect on the run, Sham, “was supposed to have given himself up at 1:00pm but [he] never turned up”.
The boy’s mother Vijaiyantimala ‘Mala’ Somai related to Kaieteur News last evening that “we waited until 5:00pm but he never turned up; therefore, he guilty that he know– he know wholeheartedly that he killed my son”.
Persaud will be buried on Friday.
