The lifeless body of Goberdan Sukhram, 72, called Uncle Kesh or Mamoo, of Miss Phoebe, Port Mourant, Corentyne, was discovered by a resident of the area, on Sunday. The resident had gone to purchase seasoning from the pensioner who sells from his kitchen garden.
The resident, after calling and getting no answer, decided to peep through the open kitchen door and he saw the body of Uncle Kesh, and what appeared to be blood stains. He immediately alerted other villagers and the police of Whim Police Station who arrived around 18:30 hours.
Sources revealed that the pensioner’s body bore several marks of violence. There was an open laceration at the back of his head and a ransacked house, which led detectives to believe Sukhram was murdered.
Goberdan Sukhram lived alone and was never married, a relative told Kaieteur News. “Long ago he bin like a gal but dem people na agree and he decide to live just like that,” said the relative.
Residents say that they are of the belief that the pensioner has one sister who is overseas.
The residents told this publication that Uncle Kesh had several problems with a known butcher in the area and recently he was threatened by the said butcher.
Several reports were made to Whim Police Station about these threats and problems, but the police never appeared to give the pensioner justice and he would cry bitterly to residents. The villagers are questioning why the threat reports were not used to arrest the butcher for questioning.
Uncle Kesh was described by the villagers as a very quiet old man “who does his li’l farming and sells his produce and fruits from his yard.”
He sometimes sold milk from the cows he reared. A relative said that in his younger days he was a tailor.
Police were seen combing for clues as investigations continue.
