A Corentyne cattle farmer is taking six persons to court for suspected cattle rustling.
Shromanie Ramsammy, of Williamsburg, and several other cattle farmers in the area suffered a major blow last October. They were left $3M poorer after rustlers broke into their cattle farm and carted off 15 cows. The rustlers transported the cattle to a bushy area in the Nigg backlands (a village away) and slaughtered them, taking away the meat and leaving the heads, intestines and entrails behind. The incident occurred on October 24, 2012.
A blue Canter truck was spotted, though, by some residents near the cattle farm at the time. A search party left the village and found the remains of the animals at the location, about one mile south of the public road.
According to Ramsammy, who lost seven head of cattle, she believes that she knows who the perpetrators are and she is taking them to court later this month.
Six persons in the area were drinking at a restaurant “and they discussed how they did the act”, she said. Police arrested one of the persons who, while being questioned, “talk out the whole story”.
The individual, she claimed, related how the animals were killed and the meat transported to Georgetown to be sold.
Ramsammy has secured the services of Attorney-at-Law, Ryan Crawford, and the court date has been set for April 26 at the Albion Magistrate’s Court.
