Another prisoner hangs self in Police lockups

November 8, 2015 By GuyanaTimes

– OPR, CID launch probe

A mason who was arrested on Saturday morning for threatening behaviour allegedly took his own life while in the Police lockups at the East Ruimveldt Police Outpost. The dead man has been identified as Sham Harrynauth, 38, of Lot 48 East Ruimveldt, Georgetown. According to information received, Harrynauth was found by Police ranks at about 17:05h hanging in the cell. From all indications, he ripped the jersey he was wearing and turned it into a noose. He was reportedly the only prisoner in the cell at the time. An investigation has been launched into the alleged suicide. At least five persons have committed suicide while in Police custody. In June last, convicted murder accused Ramseh Muniram was found hanging from a rope in a cell at the New Amsterdam Prison. The 27-year-old was serving a 76-year sentence for the murder of his wife. Reports indicate that on the day of the incident, Muniram was released from his cell at about 15:30h to go the recreational area to have dinner, but was returned to his cell at 15:35h. However, when prison officials checked at 15:45h, he was discovered hanging from a window to the back of the cell. Muniram was sentenced by Justice Navindra Singh on October 18, 2013, for the murder of his wife Sunita August.

This is negligence by the corrupt police to leave a detainee alone, unless they threatened to rape him.

Or did they actually raped him ? Guyana is now a satanic state under the PNC.
