DEAD: Mahesh “Bartica Chocolate” Ramsammy
His motorcycle was found next to his body. It is believed that Ramsammy may have hit an animal. He lived with his aunt Leekranie Shanta.
According to Shanta, her nephew left home as usual on Thursday at 06:00 hrs to go to work.
Ramsammy was a ‘watchman’ in the backdam of the Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo)’s Albion Estate.
“Around 1:00 hr., two guys came, one with a car and the other with a big motorbike…and call and they said a boy get accident in front of the mall at Rose Hall…we can’t say if anybody beat him or if he knocked the horse….but they said the horse hair was on the motorbike, my husband checked it.”
“The hair was on the bike and the light break up. It (the bike) is currently at the Rose Hall Town Police Outpost.
He was a very good peaceful and quiet boy,” the aunt said.
“And when I go at the [Port Mourant] hospital, the nurses tried their best with him and sent him to New Amsterdam to do X- ray and they then rushed him to Georgetown—we travelled good but he was blowing, and when he arrived at the hospital, he died.”
A post mortem is expected to be performed on Tuesday at the New Amsterdam Hospital.
