Two men detained in Mahaicony farmer’s death

Jan 07, 2014 News

As investigations continue into the death of a 72-year-old cash crop farmer and the battering of his wife, two persons remained in police custody awaiting the result of fingerprint testing.
Dearoop Siewchand of Zeelandia, Mahaicony on the East Coast of Demerara was stabbed to death late Saturday by three bandits who had invaded his home.
His 70-year-old wife, Ambika, was brutally beaten by the men who held her by her feet and dragged her down the step during the ordeal.
She is now a patient at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) nursing injuries she sustained to her face and body.
The three bandits entered the couple’s house through an open window. The entire “episode” was witnessed by the couple’s 10-year-old nephew who survived the attack by hiding in a cabinet.
Many assumed that the act was the handiwork of thieves, but a reliable source told this newspaper that investigators might soon rule out robbery since nothing substantial went missing from the home.
Yesterday, when this newspaper visited the elderly woman at the hospital, she was in great pain. Her face had several black and blue marks and was swollen.
Ambika, who recently had a surgery done on her right eye, complained of having blurred vision in that eye.
One of her relatives stopped her from speaking to the media but she managed to say, “They hold me by my foot and dragged me down the step, then they put me to lie down on the floor and they start kicking me in my face.”
She reportedly has no internal injuries.
The Siewchands were described as peaceful and hardworking people who planted celery for a living for years.
Up to press time, the elderly woman was not aware that her husband died.
