Hunt on for killer, car mirror thief
Five days after he reportedly killed his fellow villager with a car, the police have issued a wanted bulletin for Satish Neil Ramcharitar of Mon Repos, East Coast Demerara.
Wanted: Satish Neil Ramcharitar
The police said that Ramcharitar is wanted by the police for questioning in relation to the “murder” of Jagdeo Thakurdeen.
Thakurdeen, called ‘Blondie’, of Django Town, Mon Repos, East Coast Demerara, was hurled from a car after he jumped onto its bonnet in an attempt to apprehend the persons who had stolen the mirrors off his friend’s vehicle. The wanted man was reportedly the driver of the car.
Thakurdeen’s body was discovered lying on the Good Hope Railway Embankment around 22:00 hours, next to the crashed car from which he was hurled. The police had initially issued a statement to the effect that, Thakurdeen, 37, of East Coast Demerara, was “struck down” by a motor car as he was walking along the Good Hope Railway Embankment.’
But several persons including Thakurdeen’s reputed wife gave a different account of how he met his death, an account that points to a deliberate act on the part of the driver of the car.
Thakurdeen had been clinging to the bonnet of the car from La Bonne Intention a few miles away from where his body was found.
It was said that he positioned himself in front the car in an attempt to prevent the car from driving
Kaieteur News learnt that a few friends went after the car and it became a high speed chase, all the time with the now dead man on the bonnet.
The driver managed to elude his pursuers and by the time the car was seen again, it had crashed and Thakurdeen was lying motionless next to it on the Railway Embankment.
The account given by Thakurdeen’s wife is reminiscent of the scenario surrounding the death of bank employee Sheema Mangar, who was killed by a car while she tried to retrieve her stolen cellular phone.
Yesterday the police asked that “Anyone with information that may lead to the arrest of Satish Neil Ramcharitar is asked to contact the police on telephone numbers 225-6411, 226-6978, 225-8196, 229-2702, 229-2557, 911 or the nearest police station. All information will be treated with strict confidence.
