Ruimzigt man beaten to death, 3 in custody

October 29, 2015 By GuyanaTimes

Three drinking buddies are facing possible murder charges after they reportedly beat another drinking partner to death on Monday last at Ruimzigt, West Coast Demerara (WCD).

The dead man has been identified as Anil Shiwraj of Lot 13 Back Street, Ruimzigt, WCD. He was severely beaten about the body and also sustained head injuries. Shiwraj was reportedly beaten by the trio who accused him of talking too much.
According to reports, at about 20:30h on Sunday last, the four people were imbibing when an argument ensued resulting in the now dead man being dealt several blows to the head. He was then left to die in an unconscious state in a yard at Middle Street, Ruimzigt.

Based on additional information received, the argument stemmed from a suspected case of infidelity. Guyana Times was made to understand that the three men were taken into Police custody and are expected to be charged shortly.

Meanwhile, Crime Chief Wendell Blanhum has confirmed that the men are still in custody assisting with the investigations. However, he noted that much more work needs to be done by investigators before charges can be instituted against the suspects.
