Relatives post $2M reward for arrest of citrus farmer’s killers
Bhim Narine Ramanand
It’s been three years since Bhim Narine Ramanand’s bound and mutilated body was found on his Garden of Eden, East Bank Demerara farm, citrus farm, but police have made no progress in tracking down his killers.
Determined that the case will not go unsolved, Ramanand’s relatives have posted a $2M reward for the arrest and conviction of the individuals who took his life. The reward appeared in last Sunday’s edition of the Kaieteur News.
The body of the 61-year-old citrus farmer, with hands bound and stab wounds to the chest, was found in July, 2012, in his yard at Garden of Eden. Ramanand had lived alone.
Police said that his licensed shotgun and a grass-cutting machine were missing.
At the time of the murder, persons close to the victim had suggested that he might have been slain by a former tenant, known only as ‘Chung’. The tenant, who police failed to locate, is said to have rented the bottom flat of the house while Ramanand lived overseas.
A neighbour had claimed to have heard four gunshots near the slain man’s residence the night that he is believed to have been killed.
However, she did not think that anything was amiss because the farmer’s dogs did not bark. She opined that the animals are familiar with whoever murdered Ramanand.
In a television interview some two years ago, an overseas-based relative of Ramanand’s said that he had provided the police with the identity of Ramanand’s alleged killers. He said that a woman had also told him that the citrus farmer had kept a substantial sum of cash on his property. According to the relative, police had not followed up on his suggestion that they question the woman.
