A well-known pandit of Canefield, East Canje, Region Six (East Berbice-Corentyne), who is also a pump operator, has confessed that he killed security guard Angraj Kumar Indrpaul during a misunderstanding.
Dead: Angraj Kumar Indrpaul
On Tuesday, Police reported that the 59-year-old man of New Area, Canefield, East Canje, Region Six (East Berbice-Corentyne), who was found floating in the Canje River, was murdered.
An autopsy performed on the body on Tuesday gave the cause of death as manual strangulation.
This was confirmed by B Division Commander Boodnarine Persaud, who also stated that one person was arrested as Police continue their investigations.
Indrpaul was a security guard attached to the Guyana Sugar Corporation’s (GuySuCo) Rose Hall Estate.
He was last seen alive when he reported for duty on Thursday last. However, last Friday morning, at about 06:00h when the person who had to take over the shift arrived at the work site, he said he saw only Indrpaul’s footwear.
Several hours later, the body was discovered by a search party comprising estate workers. The body was pulled out of the river. At the time he was not fully clothed.
Indrpaul had been employed as a sluice security by the estate and was sent home when the estate closed in 2017 but was rehired last year when work on reopening the estate commenced.
