Dead: 50-year-old Madan Sahadeo

According to reports, 50 year-old Madan Sahadeo of Lot 333, Lusignan bled to death after his throat was slashed during an argument at Seeta’s Bar, Lusignan.
This publication was told that the incident occurred at around 18:00 hours and Sahadeo collapsed just outside of the bar and was left there for almost an hour before the police were informed.
Persons in the area told this publication that earlier in the evening Sahadeo was seen consuming alcohol at Seeta’s Bar. Sometime later an argument erupted between Sahadeo and ‘Skinny’.
This publication was told that ‘Skinny’ drew a knife and slashed Sahadeo’s throat. The injured Sahadeo barely made it to the bridge outside of the shop and collapsed.
Other patrons continued drinking as the suspect calmly fled the area. Reports are that the owners of the shop despite seeing what had transpired continued their business as usual and did not render any assistance neither did they inform the police as the injured Sahadeo laid helplessly on the ground.
This publication was told that it was passersby who noticed Sahadeo and contacted relatives who were at a wedding in another East Coast Village.
However, relatives merely thought that Sahadeo was injured and needed to be taken to the hospital. Unfortunately by the time the man’s relatives arrived at the scene he was already dead. Reports are that it was only at that point the police were informed of the incident and when they arrived they were forced to order the owner of the shop to close.
Several persons who were still consuming alcohol at the bar when the police arrived were detained to assist with investigations. Sources say that a team of police was also dispatched to Strathspey to look for the suspect.

Crime scene ranks at Seeta’s Bar combing the area for evidence.

When this publication visited the scene, at about 19:30 hours Sahadeo’s body was still in front of the bar but was covered with a sheet and the area was cordoned off as investigators combed the scene for critical evidence. They were eventually able to track the suspect down and captured him without much fuss.
Mahadeo lived with his mother Dularie Sahadeo who was too overwhelmed to talk when this publication visited her home. The woman only said she last saw him at about 17:00 hours when a friend came to the house and invited him for a drink at the bar.
