Murder accused chopped by inmates in Lusignan Prison

Charred remains in Berbice

One day after it was reported that the charred remains that were discovered at Moleson Creek, about 55 miles from New Amsterdam in Region Six (East Berbice-Corentyne) on August 20, 2020, is 23-year-old Canadian citizen Nicholas Ramkissoon Jaipaul, 23-year-old Aszim Shivgobin called “Blackie”, who is one accused in the murder, was brutally beaten by inmates in Lusignan Prison’s Holding Bay.

Guyana Times was told that Shivgobin is now hospitalised after he was chopped and beaten by the inmates on Saturday. Currently, authorities are conducting an investigation.
Shivgobin and two others are on remand for the disappearance and murder of Canada citizen, Nicholas Ramkissoon Jaipaul.
Jaipaul had arrived in Guyana in March and was slated to return Canada in May but was unable to do so due to the closure of airports amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Thus, he remained with his 86-year-old grandfather, Ramkissoon Jaipaul.
The pensioner had reported that the last time he saw his grandson was just before he retired to bed on the evening of August 16. This was during the countrywide power outage.
The elderly man explained that he got out of bed and lit two lamps – one of which he gave to his grandson, and he returned to bed. However, the following morning he realised that his grandson was missing.
The elderly man revealed that he received a telephone call that morning and the caller claimed that he had kidnapped his grandson and was demanding a ransom of $50 million.
Reports indicate that the young man was murdered as revenge against his grandfather in relation to a court matter over rice lands.
The alleged mastermind reportedly contracted the son of one of the maids who worked with the pensioner to execute the murder of his grandson.
The alleged mastermind, Monasar Beharry, called “Brickhead,” along with his alleged accomplices, Aszim Shivgobin called “Blackie” and Charran Shedhan called “Vickey,” were charged for Jaipaul’s murder on August 28, 2020
