– all bullets exited body
Investigators who were hoping to use bullets from the body of murdered businessman, Ganesh ‘Boyo’ Ramlall, to assist in their probe will have to look elsewhere. All six bullets that struck Ramlall exited his body.
This was revealed when a post mortem examination was done by Government Pathologist Dr. Nehaul Singh yesterday.
An examination of the body revealed that Ramlall was shot once in his head and five times about his upper body. Kaieteur News understands that police recovered seven spent 9mm shells at the scene of Ramlall’s shooting.
Ramlall had just returned home around midnight on Saturday and after putting down his gun and changing his clothes preparing to eat the bar-b-que chicken that he had brought home, went to use an outdoor bathroom when he was attacked.
He raised an alarm and from all indications he put up a fierce fight with his attackers, who then shot him several times about his body.
Ramlall’s wife, who had retired upstairs after opening the door for him, secured herself and managed to contact other neighbours and relatives.
The bandits escaped with Ramlall’s gold chain and a gold band. The bandits were so hasty in their retreat after neighbours responded by discharging rounds into the air from their licensed weapons, that they left Ramlall with an expensive gold ring on his finger.
Crime Chief Wendell Blanhum has maintained that so far there is no evidence to suggest that the killing of businessman Ganesh ‘Boyo’ Ramlall is anything other than a robbery.
There is speculation that Ramlall’s death may have been a ‘hit’ given the number of bullets pumped into his body last Sunday when bandits attacked him at his La Jalousie, West Coast Demerara home.
However, Blanhum, speaking with this newspaper last evening, said that at the moment the police investigations have not unearthed anything that points to an execution.
Kaieteur News understands that investigators found a piece of rope which they strongly believe was left behind.
This gives weight to the theory that Ramlall’s killers were there to rob him.
“People who come to execute you don’t come with rope to tie you up,” a close friend of the businessman remarked.
