Security guard dies in bee attack

An East Coast Demerara (ECD) family is now in a state of shock after a swarm of bees descended on 59-year-old Ramnarine (only name) called “Bush”, resulting in the man’s death.
Reports are the security guard was walking along the Mon Repos Public Road, ECD at about 13:00h when he was attached by the bees.
Guyana Times was told that the man was on his way to the market when the incident occurred. Eyewitnesses reported that the bees were nested in a nearby clump of bush but were disturbed by a herd of cattle.
There was nothing onlookers could have done as they stood by and watched Ramnarine died in excruciating pain, an eyewitness said.
The dead man’s son, Sunil Ramnarine told this publication that he was at work when he received the shocking news of his father’s death.
By the time he arrived at the scene, his father’s body had already been removed.
The bereaved son said he has no siblings and his mother passed away two years ago.
