– D&I worker hacked to death
Police have detained a Foulis, East Coast Demerara man in connection with the hacking to death of 58-year-old Gerald Indar called ‘Banja’ around 17:30 hours yesterday.
Indar’s brutal murder, two days before his 59th birthday, brought a tragic end to a 50-year-old friendship between him and the suspect in custody.
According to reports, Indar, an employee of the National Drainage and Irrigation Authority and attached to the Buxton/Foulis Neighbourhood Democratic Council, was chopped several times about the body by the suspect following a row at the suspect’s home at Fifth Street, Foulis.
Indar received two wounds to his back and one to his left arm and reportedly bled to death before he could receive medical attention.
His body remained at the gate to the residence in a pool of blood for almost an hour before the police arrived on the scene.
They subsequently took the suspect to the Georgetown Hospital for treatment of a wound that he sustained on his foot, which he claimed to have suffered at the hands of Indar.
Relatives could not say what led to the incident since the two men were reportedly imbibing alone in the house.
Kamini Ramnanan, the dead man’s niece, said that she was at home not too far from where the incident occurred when she received a telephone call from her aunt.
“She say, ‘come see Balo chop Banja.’ She tell me call de police and I get a neighbour fuh call dem,” Ramnanan told this newspaper.
According to the woman, when she arrived at the scene, she saw Indar lying motionless in a pool of blood, while the suspect was standing at the door of the bottom flat of the house.
“If you see blood. Like he (Indar) try fuh run,” Ramnanan suggested.
She said that she learnt that after chopping Indar, the suspect then picked up a bucket with water and tried to wash away the blood, even as the victim lay dead on the ground.
She informed that both Indar and the suspect were childhood friends, and the incident has left everyone who knew them in a state of shock.
Investigators believe they have a clear cut case and should institute charges as soon as a post mortem examination is performed on Indar’s body.
