Former president pardons child killer Ravindra Deo

MAY 17, 2015 | BY  | FILED UNDER NEWS 

Ravindra Deo, who kidnapped and killed an eight-year-old boy 21 years ago, walked out of the Georgetown Prisons yesterday—courtesy of a presidential pardon by outgoing President Donald Ramotar.
Prison officials confirmed that Deo, 39, had been freed.
Ravindra Deo was just 19 when he kidnapped and killed eight-year-old Vishnu Bhim, as the Annandale, East Coast Demerara child was coming home from school. The kidnapper had reportedly demanded a $1M ransom.
Prior to the kidnapping, Deo had allegedly gone to the child’s home and asked the victim’s father, Heerlall Bhim, for a job in the man’s carpentry shop.
Deo was arrested a few days later in America Street, and on December 1, 1994, he led detectives and villagers to La Bonne Intention backdam.
There, police found the eight-year-old boy’s bound gagged and battered body.
On December 6, 1994, Ravendra Deo appeared in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court, to answer a charge of murder.
He was found guilty on December 4, 1995, and Justice Claudette Singh sentenced him to death.
A date was actually set for Deo and two other death row inmates to be hanged, but an ex parte injunction filed by their Attorneys prevented their execution.
Deo’s sentence was subsequently commuted to life imprisonment and he was removed from death row.
Deo had initially claimed that an individual named ‘Kresho’ of Mahaicony, had assisted in the kidnapping. Police searched the Mahaicony area for ‘Kresho’ but never found him.

Does make a difference bai. He could have been put to death long before Ramotar had a chance to pardon him.

Maybe. Nonetheless, I do especially have a problem with people who harm kids.

That is like a double murder.

Ramotar did better than his attorney and yet you don't have a problem with Ramotar. You are a hippo krit.

Hippokrit, you should be asking why your Ramotar freed the monster? The Koran has volumes on people like you.

I have a problem with them also. Actually I have a bigger problem with them since their action is mainly discretionary.

Interesting how you just assume that I don't have a problem with Ramotar pardoning him.

Why would I ask why Ramotar freed the killer when I know that Presidents do this. I didn't even ask why the lawyer defended the killer. All I asked is who is the lawyer. Looks like you get lost in your own strange world bai.

I never heard of any US, Canadian or British  PM or president pardoning a child killer this is new......

 

 

BTW look at hope our own indian people are expressing below.....Fareema's brother was killed under the PPP's watch.

 

 

Meanwhile, the recent developments have been welcomed by khan’s relatives.
His sister, Fareema Khan, told this newspaper yesterday that while they are appreciative of the work the police are doing at the moment, there is still much more to be done.
“I am reading everything, since I am the one who has been involved since his disappearance,” she told this newspaper via telephone from New York.
She said that she believes everything that the informant Wayne is saying, adding that she has been privy to his statement.
The woman said that the police have given her the assurance that they will get to the bottom of the matter, and will arrest whoever they have to.
“Leslie James (Crime Chief) gave me his word. We told him, ‘we know you guys are not going to do anything’ but the Crime Chief told us that he does not operate like that, he will get to the bottom,” Fareema Khan stated.
She said that she and the rest of the family are much more confident that justice will be served now that a new government has been elected.
“If was the PPP, they would have ducked it,” she said.

I didn't say that US, Canadian or British Prime Minister or President pardoned a child killer. I never thought of researching it and since I didn't go to law school, it would not have come up in any case study. However I do have a problem with Ramotar pardoning this killer. Why my interest in who was the lawyer is such an issue. I didn't follow Guyana's current affairs back in the '90s. Actually, my information on what is happening in Guyana is what I see posted here on GNI.

 

Regarding Fareena Khan, now that there is a new government, hopefully she can get some resolution to her brother's death investigation.

LOL! You got caught with your pants down. I know you are not the sharpest knife in the drawer. For real bona fide stupidity, I don't think there is a team that can beat you.

I think the new government should look at this and reverse this if it is indeed illegal.

Was there a parole report to clear him back into society? I doubt whether proper protocol was done to free him.  Well... perhaps money talks, murderer walks.

Child killer pardoning …Parents aggrieved, were cheated out of justice

MAY 19, 2015 | BY  | FILED UNDER NEWS 

Shock and disbelief are two words being used by United States of America–based, couple Heeralall and Chaimwatie Bhim, as they described their reaction to the news that the man who was convicted for the cold blooded murder of their only child two decades ago, was set free by former President, Donald Ramotar.

Last Saturday, Ravindra Deo, who abducted and killed eight-year-old Vishnu Bhim, walked out of the Georgetown Prisons, courtesy of a Presidential pardon from the outgoing Head of State.
But the news that Deo has been freed only forced the child’s parents, who migrated to the US shortly after the killing, to re-live the horrible incident.
Mr. and Mrs. Bhim currently reside in Orlando, Florida, USA. The aggrieved  parents  told this publication that after spending years struggling to cope with the grief and agony of losing their only child in such a horrible manner, they “feel cheated out of justice,” knowing that his murderer is free to walk  the streets again.
With this new development, Mr. Bhim said that he and his wife are now forced to endure the indescribable, especially since the incident remains fresh in their minds.
“It’s so fresh … It’s like it was just yesterday… To hear such a thing now has my wife crying. She is in shock, she can’t take it,” Mr. Bhim said.

Murdered: Vishnu Bhim, the couple’s only child.

Murdered: Vishnu Bhim, the couple’s only child.

He recalled that about a year ago he received news that his son’s killer would be released.
Bhim said that he travelled to Guyana after he heard that the former President was planning to pardon the man responsible for his son’s death.
The grieving father said he raised his concerns with the former Attorney General, Anil Nandlall, who assured him that it was just a rumour.
“But lo and behold, within the short space of time, it’s a reality,” the man stressed.
The Florida-based Guyanese now wonders why the former President would pardon someone who committed such an unconscionable act.
“How could the President pardon a man who did such a horrible thing?  Why him? Why not some other person?  He took from us our only child. That‘s not right. That’s not justice,” he lamented.
Given the fact that the killer is now a free man, Mrs. Bhim also expressed fear for the safety of those who provided evidence in the trial.
“This is a man who had threatened us. People’s lives are at risk. People are scared for our lives because our son’s killer is out on the streets again. We have relatives back home. I’ve travelled home at least three times in the last year,” Mrs. Bhim said.
Now she is uncertain whether she will be returning to Guyana again.
The couple is now considering if any action can be taken to reverse the former President’s decision.
They are mulling over any legal options available to them.
Deo, 39, was just 19 years old, when he kidnapped and killed the young child, who was making his way home from school at Annandale, East Coast Demerara.
The killers had reportedly demanded a $1M ransom.
Prior to the kidnapping, the suspect had allegedly gone to the child’s home and had asked the victim’s father, Heeralall Bhim, for a job in his carpentry shop.
He was arrested a few days later in America Street, and on December 1, 1994, he led detectives and villagers to La Bonne Intention, backdam, where they found the eight-year-old boy’s bound, gagged and battered body.
He had initially claimed that an individual named ‘Kresho’ of Mahaicony, had assisted in the kidnapping.
Police searched the Mahaicony area for ‘Kresho’ but never found him.
Deo was subsequently convicted and sentenced to death in 1995.  But an ex-parte injunction was filed to prevent his execution.
He was eventually removed from death row. Deo was serving a life sentence, before he was released from prison.

The PPP is trying to flood the streets of Guyana with killers so that they can create blood baths in the Guyanese communities. This is the exact kind of evidence that demonstrate that the PPP is not a party for the Indians.

I think the decision to pardon can be repealed or revoked.
