Manslaughter convict dies in Camp Street Prison

Nov 24, 2013 News

 

An inmate of the Georgetown Prison was pronounced dead at the Georgetown Public Hospital after falling gravely ill in his cell a few days ago.
Kassim Mohamed, 62, who was serving a 20-year sentence for manslaughter, was suffering from acute diabetes.
He took a turn for the worse three weeks ago and could not physically help himself. He had to be assisted by fellow inmates and prison authorities.
Reliable sources in the Camp Street Prison said that on Friday Mohamed was seen lying motionless in his cell but at the time prison officials thought that he was asleep.
But when efforts to awake him yesterday failed, prison authorities realized that he was dead.
They quickly hired a taxi and rushed Mohamed’s body to the hospital where he was officially pronounced dead.
“Three prison officers brought him to the hospital but de man was already dead,” a source at the GPHC told this newspaper.
