Forty-one-year-old Kapil Ramsamuj, the former headteacher of Bonasika Creek Primary School, Essequibo River allegedly died by suicide one day after he reportedly consumed a poisonous substance.
The man of Zeelugt New Housing Scheme, East Bank Essequibo (EBE) reportedly consumed the poisonous substance on August 12, 2024, but succumbed at the West Demerara Regional Hospital.
Police stated that the now dead man’s sister, Vimla reported that she was at home when she received a call that her brother drank poison.
She added that at about 19:40h on the same day, she was at the Parika Police Station making a report that her brother had consumed poison but received another telephone call that he had passed. The woman according to reports could not say what caused her brother to consume the poisonous substance.
However, a post-mortem is expected to be conducted today to determine the cause of death since reports circulating suggested that he might have been beaten to death by his in-laws.
