Lusignan bar murder…Victim died of single incised wound to neck
A post mortem examination has revealed that 50-year-old Lusignan fisherman, Madan Sahadeo, died as a result of a single incised wound to his neck.
Dead 50 year-old Madan Sahadeo
The post mortem was done yesterday at the Georgetown Public Hospital by Government Pathologist, Dr. Nehaul Singh.
Sahadeo was on Sunday evening knifed to death while at Seeta’s Bar, Lusignan, East Coast Demerara. Meanwhile charges are likely to be laid against a man called ‘Skinny’ who was arrested shortly after the incident on Sunday evening.
According to reports, ‘Skinny’ who hails from Strathspey, East Coast Demerara was earlier in the night involved in an argument with Sahadeo and was seen inflicting a wound to Sahadeo mere seconds before the latter collapsed outside the bar and died.
This publication was told that Sahadeo and ‘Skinny’ were both consuming alcohol at Seeta’s Bar on Sunday around 18:00 hours when an argument erupted. The men were arguing about who was a better fisherman. At some point the argument became heated and ‘Skinny’ drew a knife and reportedly slit Sahadeo’s throat. According to reports Sahadeo staggered and then collapsed at the bridge leading to the bar. He was left there for almost two hours without any help.
Residents of the area told this publication that not even the owners of the bar offered any help not even to summon the police or apprehend the perpetrator. Persons who were at the bar continued imbibing as the suspect in the matter calmly left the area.
This publication was told that passersby who noticed Sahadeo contacted relatives who were at a wedding in another East Coast Village. However, relatives thought that Sahadeo was merely 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 that 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. Acting on information received the suspect was arrested.
