Dead: Naresh Seecharran

Naresh Seecharran, 27, a father of one, was fatally stabbed in the neck at Haswell, Port Mourant, Corentyne, reportedly after an argument with the suspect escalated into a physical altercation. Police say the incident occurred late Sunday evening.

Seecharran’s mother, Radha Seecharran of Glasgow Village, East Bank Berbice, told Kaieteur News on Monday that she last spoke with her son by phone on Sunday afternoon. During that call, she said, he told her he loved her and wanted to come home. Realising he was intoxicated, she asked one of his friends, identified only as Balram, to look after him for the evening, and told her son she would come for him the following day.

At around 11:45 p.m. that night, she said, Seecharran’s employer called her.

“He boss man call me and seh, ‘Aunty Radha, Small Man [the suspect] bore Cat to he neck.’ I said, ‘Is anything serious?’ He said he don’t know, ‘leh we hurry,’” she recounted.

Radha and other relatives rushed to Port Mourant Hospital but could not immediately locate him.

“I asked the guard if anyone come with any stab. He said no. They tell we, we have to go to the station. We drive and went to the police outpost at Rose Hall. When I go, I see the police get Balram sitting inside. I said, ‘Balram, wuh wrong to Cat?’ He didn’t answer,” she said.

Unable to get clear answers about her son’s whereabouts, Radha said her maternal instinct told her something was terribly wrong. A relative later directed the family to Babu Jaan, Port Mourant, where Seecharran was found lying motionless in a pool of blood on the street. He was taken to Port Mourant Hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival. His body was subsequently taken to Ramoo’s Funeral Home to await a post-mortem examination.

Radha described her son as fun-loving, someone who habitually made “rough jokes” with friends and co-workers but rarely engaged in conflict.

“He does mek jokes, and some of them workers does tek it serious, but he is not a person to fight. I really want justice for my son,” she said.

Police in Region Six have confirmed the arrest of Parmeswhar Lionel, 20, a construction worker of Lochaber Village, West Canje Berbice, in connection with the killing.

Radha said Lionel had, along with other friends, previously accompanied her son to her Glasgow home, where the group would spend time together.

Seecharran, the third of four sons in his family, is survived by his wife and their three-year-old daughter.
