Nov 30, 2013 News

 

Police have questioned two individuals and are looking for a third man in connection with the murder of 34-year-old Nandkumar ‘Champa’ Poonwassie, whose body was found last Tuesday on Day Clean Street, Port Mourant.
Kaieteur News understands that a postmortem revealed that Poonwassie was strangled, although it was first suspected that he was clubbed to death.
A close relative reported that the body bore a gaping wound to the head, and that his hands were bound.
Poonwassie, of Lot 132 Tain, Port Mourant, was found dead around 06:00 hrs by persons who were on their way to work.
A female villager who lives in proximity to where the body was found told Kaieteur News that she saw a number of persons on the street and when she enquired she was told that a body was on the street and that “it was Darshanie”.
According to sources, Poonwassie may have been involved in a confrontation with a man on a bicycle who was reportedly seen chasing the victim last Monday.
