Man held after drinking partner’s corpse found on bridge

Sep 18, 2015 News

Police have detained a Crabwod Creek, Corentyne man after the body of his friend, with suspected marks of violence, was found on his bridge at around 12.00 hrs yesterday.
Ganesh Permaul, 34, also called ‘Bunjal’ and ‘Vinood,’ was found dead some hours after he was drinking with his now-detained friend. Police have received reports that the men were overheard fighting.
The suspect, who lives alone at Crabwood Creek, reportedly told police that they were drinking at his home on Wednesday night, and he asked Permaul to buy a bottle of “extra white” rum and a pack of cigarettes.
He alleged that Permaul eventually returned with ‘some men,’ who identified themselves as police ranks. According to the detained man, the ‘policemen’ said that they had found Permaul with narcotics. He claimed that the ‘policemen’ took the bottle of ‘extra white’ and forced Permaul to drink some of the liquor. The ‘ranks’ allegedly then departed, leaving Permaul at his house.
He claimed that he retired to bed for the night, and when he awoke yesterday, Permaul, who was still alive, was in his verandah.
Permaul’s friend also claimed that he went out, but when he returned, he found Permaul’s body  on his bridge. He stated that he called the police and the body was taken to the Skeldon Public Hospital Mortuary.
But police have received reports that the friend had sent Permaul to buy drugs and became annoyed when Permaul returned empty-handed. Neighbours reportedly heard the men fighting, leaving investigators to suspect that Permaul was slain and dumped on the bridge.
