Almost two weeks after being brutally beaten, an East Coast resident succumbed to his injuries while receiving medical attention at the Georgetown Public Hospital on Thursday.
Dead: Remo Roopnarine
The dead man has been identified as Remo Roopnarine, 42, of Supply Mahaica, ECD.
Based on reports received, the now dead man was found at about 16:00h on August 15 lying in an unconscious state at the back of his yard, with injuries to his head.
He was picked up and taken to the Mahaicony Cottage Hospital, where he was treated and transferred to the Georgetown Public Hospital. He remained a patient at that medical facility until his demise.
Investigations revealed that Roopnarine and the suspect had a misunderstanding, during which the suspect became annoyed and kicked and cuffed the victim to the head.
The suspect, Linden Mc Curdy, also called “Ganga Saka”, of Lot 77 Supply Mahaica, ECD, was later arrested and charged for attempted murder.
He reportedly appeared at the Vigilance Magistrate’s Court on August 20 before Magistrate Mettelholzer, who read the charge to him. He was not required to plead to the indictable charge, and was remanded to prison until September 4, 2020.
