The Post Mortem (PM) examination on the body of a West Demerara carpenter has revealed that the wounds sustained by the 46-year-old man, are consistent with that of a vehicular accident victim.
This was according to a relative of the deceased, yesterday. It was later confirmed by the ‘D’ Division Commander of the Guyana Police Force (GPF), former Crime Chief Leslie James.
The body of Seecharran Lall, called “Lalah”, was discovered on the Harlem Public Road, West Coast Demerara, during the wee hours of Monday morning.
While many Harlem residents concluded that the man might have been struck by a vehicle, relatives of the deceased, believed and continued to suggest otherwise.
According to the man’s aggrieved brother, Taijram Lall, he and Seecharran on Sunday morning journeyed to a relative’s home in Crane, West Coast Demerara, to participate in the Phagwah celebrations.
After several hours of imbibing, Lall requested that he wanted to return home.
The brothers, in the company of other relatives, proceeded to the main road around 19:30hrs, where a “short-drop” taxi was flagged down.
Taijram recalled that the car could have only taken one passenger so Lall boarded.
“When we reach home he didn’t reach yet. This morning we get a call that they find he body in Harlem,” the teary-eyed Taijram said on Monday.
Lall’s relatives subsequently paid a visit to the taxi-driver’s home seeking answers.
“He tell we that he drop back Lalah where he pick him up from. He didn’t say why he drop him back there,” Taijram said.
Kaieteur News was informed yesterday that the taxi-driver was taken into custody to assist with the investigation however, the Commander refuted this claim.
A subsequent telephone call to the Vreed-en-Hoop outpost, confirmed that no one was held in connection to the matter.
Meanwhile, the relatives of Seecharran Lall remain convinced that there was foul-play.
They argued that the carpenter was allegedly murdered and dumped at the location.
