Executed Dutch businessman… Surinamese authorities investigating undercover in Berbice, B’ Division unaware

As investigations continue into the murder of Dutch businessman Nitender Oemrawsingh, whose lifeless body was found nestled among some vines on the Number 63 beach shore, Kaieteur News was reliably informed that Dutch authorities are in Guyana investigating “undercover”.
It was confirmed by a “backtrack” source that at least five cops from Suriname entered Guyana on Tuesday and departed yesterday.
B’ Division Commander, Paul Langevine, told reporters that he is not aware of any police from Suriname being in Guyana. He added that they are not in contact with Dutch authorities.
According to Langevine there are no leads pointing to anyone and no arrests have been made. He also stated that he is not aware if the police in Suriname are in contact with the country’s Crime Chief Lyndon Alves.
The only thing Langevine confirmed was that the body of the businessman was handed over to relatives, yesterday. He remained silent on the progress of the investigation.
A post mortem examination conducted on the body of Oemrawsingh at the Skeldon Hospital Mortuary revealed that he died from shock and haemorrhage due to a single gunshot wound to the head. There were also lacerations to the brain. The autopsy was conducted yesterday morning by Government Pathologist Vivekanand Bridjmohan.
While questions linger as to when the businessman would have entered Guyana or if he did at all, a relative who was present at the Skeldon Mortuary, said that his relative did not go missing in Suriname because he spoke with him the Friday prior to his death.
He stated, “The same day (Sunday) he cross over here. He was never arrested, never. He was just questioned, not arrested or detained.”
The man added that his relative went about the week as normal and had never confided in him about anything. The relative stated that everyone is still in shock in Suriname over Oemrawsingh’s death.
According to the man, “You know how it shocked us? He do nuff things for old people, less fortunate children. He was known to everybody. He never had fight and so with nobody”.
Another relative of the dead man, who lives in Berbice, told this publication that Oemrawsingh was no stranger to the country since he would often come.
The woman said, “He doesn’t come like every week; he does come once in a while.” She stated that when he ventures over, he would stay at local hotels. It was also disclosed that he also came to Guyana unbeknownst to anyone.
He was said to be involved in the “bird business” in Guyana.

Executed: Nitender Oemrawsingh

The Dutch businessman’s body was discovered along the 63 beach shore with a single gunshot wound to the head. He is believed to have been executed and not robbed since Suriname and US currency was found on him. His cell phone was also found near him on the beach.
Kaieteur News was told that the businessman may have been murdered by a Surinamese businessman in fear that he may have “ratted them out” while he was being questioned.
Authorities in Suriname confiscated 2,300 kilos of cocaine from a rice shipment. The coke bust was made at the Jules Sedney port, in the southern district of the capital. It was reportedly stashed in an eight-container rice shipment filled with rice, awaiting loading at the harbour.
The shipment was destined for France, through Guadeloupe.
Security workers of the port stumbled upon the shipment during their regular controls. They alerted the Narcotics Brigade of the police, in Suriname.
The rice was said to be from Oemrawasingh’s factory.
