Dead: Kenrick Hakim.

Police on Friday arrested one of his tenants, who according to them was on the run. The suspect was identified as 27-year-old construction worker, Ramlagan Mahadeo, called ‘Dado’.

Mahadeo, according to Police, was nabbed at Black Bush Polder, Corentyne, Berbice, Region Six, during an intelligence-led operation under the command of Region Six Police Commander, Senior Superintendent Shivpersaud Bacchus.

Mahadeo and his common-law wife Sarah are accused of killing their landlord Hakim.

Eyewitnesses reportedly saw the couple beating the man on his veranda around 18:00hrs on Wednesday. The next day, Hakim died from his injuries while receiving treatment at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation.

Kaieteur News understands that Hakim was beaten by his tenants after he confronted them about playing music too loud.

A neighbour had reportedly complained to Hakim about the loud music. It reportedly led to a “cuss out” between the female tenants and the neighbour over the complaint made.

During the verbal exchange, the neighbour reportedly accused the woman of being unfaithful to her husband. The argument ended there but another one began, this time between the couple (the tenants) over the allegation.

Arrested for the death of Hakim, Ramlogan Mahadeo.

The two suspects then left but returned later (at around 18:00hrs) still arguing with each other. Subsequently, they were seen beating Hakim on his veranda.

Eyewitnesses alleged that they dealt a number of cuffs and kicks to Hakim’s head and body. The physical assault reportedly lasted for about an hour. After badly beating the man, the couple took him to Mahadeo’s mother’s home located a short distance away where he spent the night.

Reports are that around 07:00hrs the following day (Thursday) the couple realized that Hakim was seriously injured from the beating and then rushed him to the hospital.

Unfortunately, Hakim passed away around 15:00 hrs. that day.

Multiple marks of violence were seen about his body.
