Police yet to make breakthrough in Belle West cattle farmer’s murder

Two weeks after the body of 67-year-old Sohan Ramdial was found in a shallow grave on his farm at Belle West, West Bank Demerara (WBD), the detectives are yet to make a breakthrough in the case.

Police Commander of Region Three (Essequibo Islands-West Demerara), Assistant Commissioner Simon McBean on Sunday told Guyana Times that the ranks are continuing to pursue the matter but to date, there are no leads that would lead to the arrest of the perpetrators.
However, a police source related that during their investigations, a large quantity of marijuana was found on the man’s farm.
Further, this publication was told investigators are currently tieing up loose ends which will eventually lead to the arrest of the perpetrator(s).
On April 5, 2020, Ramdial left his home at about 17:00h to check on his cattle, and did not return. This resulted in worried family members launching a search for him the following day.
On April 6, 2020, the family made the gruesome discovery. The man’s body was found in a shallow grave with his hands tied.
Detectives, upon examination of the body, discovered stab wounds to the man’s chest.
An autopsy, which was done by Government Pathologist, Dr Nehaul Singh at the Ezekiel Funeral Home, proved the farmer died as a result of perforations to the lung and heart owing to multiple penetrated wounds.
Family members stated that the man tended to his cattle on a daily basis and they were not aware that he had enemies.
