Vagrant’s battered body found in Corentyne house

Sep 20, 2013 News

The badly battered body of a vagrant was found at around 20:00 hrs yesterday in an abandoned two-storey house located near the public road at Lancaster Village, Corentyne.
Police said that the victim, Ravendranauth Chand known as ‘Parbattie Bucket’, and said to be in his forties, was found lying on a stair in the bottom flat of the building. Sources said that he was apparently clubbed in the head and other parts of the body.
“He was beaten with a wood which was on the step,” a villager told Kaieteur News.
Kaieteur News understands that the victim, who is originally from Sisters’ Village, East Bank Berbice, was an alcoholic who would roam the community and sleep in the abandoned house.
Police sources said that the vagrant would sometimes share the premises with a mentally ill man known only as “Rasta Man’. Police suspect that this man committed the heinous crime.
According to reports, residents heard someone screaming in the building at around 20:00 hrs. The man’s battered remains were found shortly after.
Officers from the Whim Police Station reportedly removed a large piece of wood from the scene, which was allegedly used to beat the victim.
The victim’s body was taken to the Ramoo’s Funeral Home at Williamsburg.
