Dead: Sirpaul Hemraj

Kaieteur News understands that Hemraj, a Ranger and former Chairman of the Water Users Association in Black Bush was in the backdam with two other Rangers, namely Chandradatt Nankoo and Rajendra Mohan together with an Excavator Operator and some other farmers, when the Africanized bees attacked.

Nankoo said that they were talking when Mohan shouted ‘Bee!’, Nankoo said there were other farmers at the location as well and all of them ran away but Hemraj was left behind. When the bees were gone they went back to where Hemraj was and observed that he was coming out from a trench with mud on his skin. They all went to the Mibicuri Hospital where they were being treated.

Hemraj however succumbed shortly after at the said hospital while Nankoo and Mohan were treated and sent away.
