Tomb of murdered Corentyne man vandalised 1 week after burial

The tomb of 29-year-old Ramanand Mingo, who was murdered and recently buried, was discovered vandalised on Monday.
Following the discovery, relatives told Guyana Times that they received a telephone call at about 09:30h informing them that the tomb was desecrated.
The dead man’s cousin, Jennifer Ramsingh, said when they arrived at the Babu Jaan Cemetery, where Mingo was buried, they discovered that the top of the tomb was forcefully removed and a part of the casket pulled out of it.
According to her, the body didn’t seem to have been interfered with. She said nothing was removed from the man’s body or casket. The family was left in a state of shock and disbelief and is yet to ascertain what exactly transpired and more so, the purpose of the invasion.

The Police have launched an investigation into the incident.
Mingo was killed on November 19, 2023. At the time, he had reportedly gone into a bar to purchase something to drink.
Police had detailed that Mingo had left his home earlier in the day to play cricket, and was imbibing at a supermarket on John’s Public Road when his brother picked him up. While on their way home, they stopped at the bar. According to the Police, Mingo went into the bar while his brother stood outside.
He said he then saw his brother and the suspect arguing. He went inside the bar to separate them when he saw the suspect pull out a knife from the waist of his pants and stabbed Mingo to his left side chest.
A post-mortem examination performed on the body of Mingo by Government Pathologist, Dr Vivekanand Bridgemohan on Monday gave the cause of death as shock and haemorrhage due to a stab wound to the heart.
Police subsequently charged Andrew Seegobin, 30, a construction worker of Clifton Settlement for Mingo’s murder. He is expected to make his next court appearance on December 11.
