Essequibian murdered in Venezuela
An Essequibo Coast man who migrated to Venezuela over 27 years ago was murdered last week in the Spanish speaking country.
Forty-four-year-old, Rameshwar Jaipaul, aka ‘Moses’, formally of Anna Regina, Essequibo Coast, was apparently murdered in his home after unknown persons invaded and attacked him.
His mother, Lynette Jaipaul, said her son had left Guyana and never returned home.
Mrs. Jaipaul explained that since her son departed the shores of Guyana, only once he called her but she was unable to understand what he was saying since he spoke in Spanish.
The grieving mother of four remaining adult children, said that she received a text message from another relative who indicated that her son was murdered.
Mrs. Jaipaul explained that she was not informed about the circumstances surrounding the death of her son. She said that she has no clue as to whether her son’s murder was related to a robbery or a hit.
She said that her dead son was living in a common-law relationship with a Spanish woman and that relationship produced five children.
Jaipaul was buried in Venezuela.
Some time, last year, another young Essequibian was murdered in Venezuela, apparently by a relative who had ambushed him after he had exited his vehicle.
A number of Essequibians have migrated and are living in Venezuela. Most of them have accessed passage through the Pomeroon River Mouth by boat which in some cases, takes almost two weeks.
