Cause of farm labourer’s death undetermined

Jul 12, 2013 News

 

 

A post mortem has failed to clear up suspicions about the death of farm-hand Sasenarine Persaud, whose body was found in the Essequibo River last Saturday, some ten days after he disappeared from Hog Island, Essequibo.
A police official told Kaieteur News yesterday that the cause of death was undetermined, while relatives said that they were informed that there were no marks of violence on the body. Reports indicate that a proper post mortem could not be conducted due to the advanced state of decomposition.
The remains were cremated on Tuesday with relatives of the 35-year-old still expressing suspicion about the circumstances of his death.
A sister who spoke to Kaieteur News yesterday said that she did not believe reports that her brother jumped into the Essequibo River after running away from the farm where he was working.
Seepersaud, called ‘Boyo’, had traveled to Hog Island on Tuesday, June 22, in the company of a resident who wanted the man to work on his farm.
Relatives said that they were told by Seepersaud’s employer that the farm-hand worked on Sunday and Monday (June 23 and June 24), but then fled from the farm the next day.
Kaieteur News understands that the employer told relatives that Seepersaud had drowned.
The relatives said that they were also told that ‘Boyo’ “trip out and run away because the place got nuff jumbie.”
