– seven in custody
A post mortem examination performed on the body of slain American citizen 59-year-old Roopnarine Ramodit, who was shot dead on Wednesday night at his relative’s 117 Clifton, Port Mourant home just hours after returning for a one-week vacation with his wife, revealed that he died from gunshot injuries and laceration to abdominal arteries.
Those were the findings of Dr Vivekanandan Brijmohan who performed the autopsy at the New Amsterdam Hospital on Friday. Ramodit was fatally shot, allegedly by one of two men who had cornered him in the bottom flat of his relatives’ two-storey house at Chuk Street, Clifton Settlement, Tain, Corentyne, Berbice.
The killers reportedly fled with the victim’s gold chain.
Ramodit and his wife, Loopwattie, lived in Minnesota, USA, and arrived in Guyana on Wednesday, she after 18 years and he after a decade and at her insistence.
Loopwattie Ramodit said that her husband had just showered and was having dinner outside, while she and their hosts, Dowatie and Raymond David, were in the kitchen.
She was heating up food that her husband had bought from a restaurant earlier, when one of the gunmen entered the kitchen. He then told her to, “be quiet or I gon kill all alyuh”. She then heard a shot outside, after which both men fled the scene. It was then she discovered that her husband had been shot.
Ramodit was rushed to the Port Mourant Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival. The woman stated that her husband was very reluctant to come back to Guyana but she forced him to come. They had originally planned to visit another state in the US. She described her husband as a very religious man. The couple has three adult children who all reside in the USA. Yesterday, the police said that they had arrested seven people and that they remained in custody.
In the meanwhile the body has been handed over to the family and arrangements are being made by family members for the body to be flown overseas for burial.
