PI into pensioner’s rolling pin murder continues next month

The Preliminary Inquiry (PI) into the death of 72-year-old Jerry Rambeer, who was said to have been murdered with a rolling pin between July 1 and 3 last year, is set to continue at the Wales Magistrate’s Court in February.

Twenty-four-year-old Joseph Rameshwar, of Belle Vue, West Bank Demerara (WBD), who had reportedly confessed to beating the elderly man, stands accused of the capital offence.
Guyana Times had reported that Rambeer, of Lot 18 Sisters Village, WBD, was found lying in an unconscious state on July 1, 2018, at Back Street, Good Intent, WBD. The man took his last breath on July 3 when he was receiving medical attention at the Georgetown Public Hospital.
It was two days after the beating that Rameshwar was arrested and reportedly confessed to hitting Rambeer to the head with the rolling pin during an argument. Reports were that on July 1, 2018, the pensioner attended a wedding at La Retraite, WBD, with several of his friends. Sometime later that night, the man was reportedly found lying in a pool of blood in “Gaza Street”.
The now deceased father of three reportedly suffered severe internal injuries, a punctured intestine, and broken ribs.
Aggrieved family members had been holding out that both Rameshwar and his father committed the act, but the Police only instituted charges against the son based on the advice of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).
