The lifeless body of 41-year-old construction worker Choorandan Chaitram, also known as ‘Reid,’ was discovered along the Lusignan access road, East Coast Demerara, in the wee hours of Sunday.
Choorandan had reportedly left his Lusignan home at about 16:00h on Saturday to attend a wedding at Lusignan Grass Field. His body was found at about 03:50h the following morning with his throat slit.

Dead: Choorandan Chaitram

The Police have said they responded to a 911 report that the body of a male was lying along the Lusignan access road approximately two streets away from the wedding venue. Upon arrival, they found the deceased lying in a pool of blood with a three-inch wound on his throat. At the time, his identity was unknown, but as the news spread, his brother Chanderpaul positively identified him.
During an interview with the media, this brother, Chanderpaul, stated that he had received a phone call at around 2:00h on Sunday morning, and the person on the other end of the line had requested that he visit the Lusignan access road at once, since something had happened to his brother.
Chanderpaul said that upon arriving at the scene, he saw his brother lying motionless on the roadway. “His pockets were turned over, his phone was taken, and he was stabbed in the throat…It look like he bled to death,” the brother stated.
According to information gathered, an argument had taken place between the now-dead man and another guest at the wedding, but what happened after remains unknown.
The aggrieved Chanderpaul has expressed profound sadness over the death of his brother, while hailing him as a family man who had provided for them. “He never had any conflicts with anyone. My brother even adopted a child and took care of him. He didn’t trouble anyone…We need justice,” he fervently appealed.
The sister-in-law of the deceased has echoed similar sentiments in emphasizing Choorandan’s positive personality and the injustice of his tragic end.
“I have been a part of this family for 27 years, and this is very difficult. I never knew him to be a bad person. He never disrespected anyone; he was loving and caring. We need justice!” she said.
Police have since questioned several persons in the area as investigations continue. A post mortem is expected to be performed on the man’s body today.
