KILLED: Nikita Ramischand
THE mother of the 27-year-old Guyanese man wanted for questioning in relation to the April 25 murder of Nikita Ramischand, the daughter of Port of Spain attorney, Odai Ramischand and niece of Guyana's Attorney General Anil Nandlall continued her plea to her son to turn himself in.
Guyanese news website Demerara Waves caught up with the woman at her home located in a semi-forested area known as Madewini.
"I want him to give up himself…I know I lost a son," she said as she swung in a hammock.
Continuing her appeal to her son she said, if he did what they said he did, she wanted him to give himself up and face the full force of the law. "I don't want him anymore. If he did that, he is a criminal," she said.
On the night of April 25, Ramischand, 18, an accounts student at the School of Business and Computer Science, got to her father's Maracas Royal Road, Maracas Valley, St Joseph home where the suspect attacked her. He stabbed her three times to her chest then slit her throat and left her to die along a concrete pathway to the back of the house. The suspect then jumped a wall to the back of the house, injuring himself in the process, made his way out of Maracas Valley and got to the Piarco International Airport where he boarded a Caribbean Airlines flight bound for the Cheddi Jagan International Airport.
The mother recalled to Demerara Waves of suddenly receiving a call from her son, telling her that he would have been landing at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport, Timehri.
Eager to meet her son for the first time in three years, she went to the airport and accompanied him to the Madewini home.
The next day (Thursday) he borrowed his sister's mobile phone and left with a bag, never to be seen again.
The mother said later Thursday, a number of people related to the dead girl visited her and told her what had happened.
The woman said it was only then she knew what had happened. She then called her son and sought to enquire what had happened but the phone call was discontinued.
Whenever she calls the number, it goes to voice mail, she said.
However, she has been busy taking phone calls all day from people enquiring, among other things, whether her son has relatives in the Guyanese towns of Enterprise or Clonbrook.
After news broke that her son might have committed the act with an accomplice, a cousin who lives nearby has also disappeared.
The suspect's mother said she does not mind if her son has to be extradited to Trinidad and Tobago to face trial.
Director of Public Prosecutions Roger Gaspard has indicated his willingness to initiate extradition proceedings whenever the suspect is caught.
