The broken tomb
As crazy as it may sound, someone actually raided the tomb of a 60-year-old man identified as Roopnarine Kowlessar. He died on the 23rd of February, 2019.
According to the dead man’s son, he accompanied two of his overseas-based siblings to the cemetery.
“We went to visit the tomb because my brother and sister were going back to New York, so they just went for the last visit and when we came, we saw three tile break, chisel marks and a small hole at the top of the tomb but we left and go airport”.
He added that it was while he on his way to Brighton Village, Corentyne, Berbice, that he received a call from his mother informing him that his father’s tomb was broken into.
