Losing a loved one is always painful for family and friends and more so, when that person is murdered. But what hurts and haunts those affected is when time passes and the murderer was never caught.
Yesterday marked two years since 42-year-old HIV Counsellor, Seeraj Persaud (Sunny), of Lot 8 Hydronie, East Bank Essequibo, was found dead in his Parika office.
According to an autopsy conducted on February 18, 2010, Sunny died as a result of strangulation.
Kaieteur News understands that Persaud was found in a crouched position, with visible marks of violence on his neck. His laptop, cellular phone, wallet and keys were missing also.
Persaud’s friends and co-workers are still unsettled by his death since he was deemed a very helpful and kind individual to both his patients and friends.
Though many questions are still unanswered especially as to what could have been the motive for Sunny’s death, persons are unhappy that the killer has not yet been found.
Some are of the opinion that the investigation process has been moving at a slow pace while others are puzzled that no evidence could be found.
Two years ago on February 15, Linda Johnson, the facility’s health visitor, recalled that some time after noon, she saw someone enter Persaud’s office but did not pay much attention to who it was.
She said that two women who were scheduled to have counseling sessions with Persaud were sitting outside for some time. One of them eventually decided to knock on the closed door.
Johnson explained that because of the confidentiality involved, Persaud’s door would always be closed during sessions.
After knocking several times and getting no response the woman decided to open the door and she saw Persaud on the floor.
Officers at the Police Station, located in close proximity to the facility, were informed and they immediately began conducting investigations. The police found no weapon or blood in the room. To date not much has been discovered and the killer is still unidentified.
