– Body bore suspected marks of violence
Relatives of the now-dead killer Narindra ‘Dado’ Thakoor are refuting reports that the Angoy’s Avenue, New Amsterdam fisherman succumbed to poisoning and are suggesting that he was the victim of police brutality.
Thakoor was the fisherman who made headlines on January 16, last, after he hacked his 29-year-old reputed wife, Patricia Bacchus, to death.
It is alleged that Thakoor fled the scene with a bottle of insecticide in his possession. He was subsequently arrested and taken to the New Amsterdam Hospital, where doctors reportedly said that there was nothing wrong with him and handed him over to the police. Soon after, he began to soil himself. Police ranks rushed him to hospital where he reportedly died an hour later.
A post mortem which was conducted by pathologist Dr. Vivekanand Brijmohan indicated that the killer had died of “suspected” organophosphate poisoning. A medical source who saw the corpse refuted reports that there were marks of violence on the body and is adamant that Thakoor died from poisoning.
However, relatives of the dead man alleged that his body bore marks of violence and provided Kaieteur News with photographs (see front page) showing the alleged injuries. A police source also said there was no indication that the man had ingested the insecticide when he was arrested.
Zabeeda Thakoor, the dead man’s wife, alleged that she was barred from seeing him at the police station and the New Amsterdam Hospital.
“They (police) cranked a gun on me at the hospital and tell me to leave before they throw me into the lock-up and let me get the (expletive) out of the hospital”.
“All me hear the police came out and said that my husband died,” she stated.
“I asked them how he died and they took him and put him in the mortuary and they said that I cannot see him and from the 16th January to the 21st January, and then they said that he died of suspected poisoning”.
Mrs. Thakoor stated, too, that upon examining the body at the funeral parlour, it was then she saw the marks on her husband’s body.
“All he fingers cut up, he head burst in the middle and all he back and bottom and foot and hands is sheer black-and-blue and bruises!”
She added that her relatives all witnessed the ‘marks of violence’ “and we took out some pictures and we don’t know what’s happening and we want justice! We knew that he killed the girl and we agree that he gotta pay the penalty – to go to jail—not for police brutalize he and kill he!
Mrs. Thakoor believes that there is no way that the poison ingested by her husband, after he murdered the woman, could have killed him.
