Three relatives for court over Mahaicony farmer’s death
Three relatives of 72-year-old Mahaicony cash crop farmer Dearoop Siewchand are heading to court today charged with his murder.
Kaieteur news understands that the police have unearthed sufficient evidence to support murder charges against the trio.
Siewchand was found dead at his Zeelandia, Mahaicony, East Coast Demerara home with multiple stab wounds about his body early Sunday morning.

His wife Davi survived the attack, although she was badly injured and had to be hospitalized. Their 10 year- old nephew also escaped without a scratch by hiding in a cabinet.
A reliable source has informed that the dead man’s wife has positively identified the suspects as the persons who had entered her house on Saturday night.
This she did from her hospital bed.
Kaieteur News understands that Detectives were also able to match fingerprints obtained from the house with those taken from the suspects.
The brutal murder of Siewchand has plunged the peaceful community into a state of shock.
Although the Siewchand’s house is located at the back of a yard in which two other houses are built, no one heard any screaming or other suspicious noises.
Except for Amar Siewchand whose house is directly in front of the one where the murder occurred, none of the other occupants of the house at the front was aware that such brutality had taken place; they only learnt of the tragedy when they saw the police going into the house.
In fact, Amar, who was not at home earlier Saturday night, was only made aware of the murder when his son, who had slept through the night with his badly wounded aunt, informed him at daybreak.
