An Albouystown woman is alleging that her family was vilified in a recent Kaieteur News story which described her household as “notorious”, and which implied that one of her sons was involved in the death of a 21-year-old man in Bartica.
The woman said that the January 10, 2013 story linked her son to the demise of 21-year-old Anthony Biswah. The young man, who was also from Albouystown, died on January 4, last, a day after he was admitted to the Bartica Hospital.
Although Biswah’s relatives said that the post mortem showed that his brain was swollen and that the results were inconclusive, they also suggested to Kaieteur News that he was murdered. One relative had alleged that Biswah was beaten with a firearm at a mining camp.
Police have since issued a statement saying that there were no visible marks of violence and the post mortem results were inconclusive.
Biswah’s relatives had told Kaieteur News that he left his Albouystown home on December 15, 2012 for a brief sojourn in the interior with neighbours, another Albouystown family. He was scheduled to return home after 20 days.
The relatives claimed that the next time they saw Biswah, he was in the Bartica Hospital with a badly swollen face. They alleged that he succumbed a day later but not before relating that he had been badly beaten by the very people who took him into the interior.
The mother of the man accused of having a hand in Biswah’s demise confirmed that her son had travelled to the interior. But she denied that Biswah and her son travelled together.
“They claimed that my son killed him, but my son traveled to the ‘bush’ after (Biswah).”
