This is Sean village people.

Most times when these things happen, as it did before, relatives and friends are involved.  Two Canadians who seems rich, is the greed of some villagers, where trust don't exist.  

Any Updates?

No updates that I am aware of. 

A similar situation exists while working on projects in Guyana. Donated funds for projects are difficult to obtain, but some Guyanese feel since an organization is paying for everything, they must be rich and adequate safeguard needs to be put in place. 

In some countries its important to connect with friendly police officers, so bandits can see that some 'protection' is in place from anyone with ideas to attack.

The same people in the community we assist, or those we buy lunch for helping us, might be the ones  who might attack. So its difficult to know who to fully trust.    

Mits I spoke with a fellow Guyanese and he said that the newspaper report is accurate. No further updates as of now.

I hope this does not turn out to be a similar incident like the British youth who went to visit 'new' relatives in Guyana and was killed, with his camera equipment buried. 

On the surface these places look so nice and innocent, but a person's life can sometimes for the worse, overnight.

The grandfather must be going through hell with guilt, for bringing the boy to Guyana.  

Two arrested in Canadian citizen’s alleged kidnapping

 Aug 20, 2020  Kaieteur News

Missing: Nicholas Jaipaul

A maid and her son were arrested yesterday and are being questioned in connection with the disappearance of Canadian citizen, Nicholas Jaipaul who was on vacation with his grandfather at Number 69 Village since January.
According to the grandfather, Ramkissoon Jaipaul, the maid in custody started working for him about a year ago and had previously lived in Brazil. He added that she never provided a solid address and he only knew her as Radha. Based on the little he knew about her, he said that she had stated that she had developed issues with her husband in Brazil and returned to Guyana.
Nicholas Jaipaul disappeared from his vacation home at 69 Village sometime between Sunday night and Monday morning. His grandfather told this publication that he received an anonymous call Monday afternoon from someone saying that they have his grandson.
They both came to Guyana in January for vacation and were expected to return to Canada in May, however, because of the COVID-19 restrictions, they have been stuck here. This publication understands that a team from the Major Crime Unit was sent to Berbice to assist detectives in investigating the matter.

He was murdered by the maids son, and the burnt body was recovered yesterday.

They should fry the son and the mother too.  The grandfather must be going through hell. 

Tola, I know the family. I just spoke with his Aunt in Canada and they are currently headed to his father's residence. They are devastated.

I could imagine how the family must feel from our own family experience. 

Before the virus, our daughter wanted to visit Guyana and our sister's grave site, but I was afraid of her being here. Some of the people we contact are not very trusting. Now she will be more afraid with this boy's death.  

this is shocking.they should fry the maid & her son.too many crimes and murders in that god-forsaken place.that's why i haven't set foot in guyana since 2007.i travel all over the world & enjoy life

Guyana has lost its innocence. I cannot believe that things like these can happen in the villages in Corentyne.

OMG.  This is so devastating, prayers for the family.

This is very sad.

Cain, his father lives in Barrie. This is very sad indeed. 

I know this family and have some relationship through my wife relatives. He also have an aunt in Calgary. Very sad indeed

Very sad.

His Grandfather is Jaipaul know as Balram. Balram was a popular businessman in his younger days and owned a rice mill in addition to lots of rice fields. Very nice family. 

Sean, are you from my end of the hood? I lived two years in 65 village.

Thought you said that only "Blackman does rab an kill".

You all don't get tied up with this crime.  Crime like this has been happening throughout Guyana's history.  It's only being reported more today.  People have been known to murder their fathers and brothers for inheritance.  

The perpetrators of this crime must be punished adequately to send a message to the public that you will pay dearly if you take the life of another person.

Did you live near the Koker dam at 65 ? Do you know Henry, the Zil family ? Do you know Chruchill ? I know a lot of people from 52-Corriverton. Cobra, do you also know Neville ?

Both races do, when their warped minds tells them an opportunity exist. 

Guyana needs a harsher deterrent, so people can know that a life taken, could also be their own afterwards. 

This is not the first this has happened. People see an opportunity and they take it. I remember not so long ago another foreigner was conned by a group of thugs and they killed him and buried him in a shallow grave, but the story came to light and they all get caught. The saddest thing is that the foreigner loses his life innocently. 

The lord and saviour Jagdeo who abolished the death penalty should now re introduce it.

During the last Ramotar government, the people in Berbice protested at police stations, for the police to do better to prevent the run away crime rate. One guy was even shot to death at Albion police station during a protest. 

Ali promised to do better this time, we wait to see.

Unfortunately, police stations still lock their gates at night  and sometimes don't answer the phone. The  police is supposed to have patrols at night, but most times they are only seen at road blocks during the day. 

Crime affects everyone’s quality of life and takes a toll on businesses. In order to reduce crime and provide safety for all Guyanese, the PPP/C will:

● Provide more equipment, facilities and training for law enforcement personnel. ● Improve investigative and forensic capabilities. ● Expand the use of modern technology and intelligence in the fight against crime including cybercrimes. ● Expand intelligence gathering and processing capability of law enforcement agencies and promote intelligence-led policing. ● Ensure greater accountability by the Police for solving crime including a crime observatory. ● Provide better remuneration and conditions of service for personnel in the security forces. ● Decentralize crime-fighting resources and capabilities across Guyana. ● Enhance security capabilities in the hinterland in support of mining, forestry and Amerindian villages. ● Strengthen the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU). ● Enhance the capabilities of the Customs Anti-Narcotics Unit (CANU). ● Increase international cooperation in the fight against the smuggling of narcotics. ● Provide increased budgetary allocation for the Office of the DPP. ● Expand training for Prosecutors to promote a higher rate of conviction for serious crimes. ● Implement new initiatives for greater road safety. ● Foster greater collaboration with the private security sector in certification and training. ● Reinstate the joint services bonus. ● Equip the army to enhance maritime and border security. ● Reform of the prison system to include compulsory training/education for prisoners, security and safety of prison officers and safer prisons with improved conditions.

Rass Rama, did the PPP not say the same thing during their 23 years.  How come dem Indian voters were still protesting in front of police stations during the PPP government ?  Where were the changes then ? 

Rama, that tune getting old and stale.

I believe they were temporarily misguided. They willingly drank the Kool-Aid. But soon after the 2015 general elections, they woke up from their temporary trance and realized how right Nagamootoo was in the video below. Hence their reversion to the PPP in 2020.

That's not true. You lie.  Rip van wrinkle woke up after 20 years and said he great changes.  But you after 60 years said there are no changes. Do you always lie like that? Imagine after completing over 3500 projects, you still say there are no changes.  You should visit Guyana sometime and stop drink 'piss' and drink water.

Hope the family gets the Justice they deserve.  Learnt today that this kid’s aunt is someone I know.  ☹️

Some peoples' inhumanity knows no bounds. No amount of land is worth a single human being's life. Especially when that human being has no knowledge or interested in that land.

I stay out of Guyana because the risks there far outweigh any benefit therein.
