Popular chutney artiste and Director of Firefest Productions, Mahendra Ramkellawan, found one his vehicles torched after it was stolen from his Eccles Housing Scheme residence yesterday.
The Toyota Allion was found in Le Repentir Cemetery in the wee hours of the morning. It was taken to the Providence Police Station.
According to Ramkellawan, he parked the car after returning home at 21:00hrs on Friday, however, in the early hours of Saturday he heard his car alarm go off and when he peered through a window he saw someone driving off with the vehicle.
“I don’t know what the motive was, but I have no enemies. The car was just burnt and it appears as if nothing was missing.”
Several of the artiste’s friends, relatives and employees assisted in the search which concluded with the discovery of the torched vehicle in the burial ground. Police were contacted and investigations are continuing
Relatives noted that shortly after the car was removed, they tried contacting a police outpost and the Providence Police Station, but the phones continuously rang out. According to them it was after an hour of trying that a rank answered the phone and a report was made.
“If we had gotten onto the police earlier they could have found the vehicle, and this didn’t have to happen. This man does so much for people and entertainment in this country and this is what they do?” one relative questioned.
