Domestic Violence victim Sabita Shamnarine put to rest on Thursday, July 26th. 

The 40-year-old woman was beautifully dressed in a wedding dress as she made her final physical journey on Earth. Standing next to her coffin is her 5-year-old daughter, Meera. 

Sabita suffered severe abuse at the hands of her spouse throughout the course of her 20 years of marriage. She took her last breath at the New Amsterdam Hospital last Saturday. (See for full story.https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=2075497292704021&id=1463074647279625)

Media reports have indicated that her husband will not be charged for murder since her autopsy showed that she died from natural causes. 

Sabita before dying told her neighbors and friends that she was severely beaten once again by her husband including being kicked to the stomach and hit in the head with a hammer. 

She was experiencing severe pain and was rushed by her friend to the Skeldon Hospital after which she was transferred to the New Amsterdam Hospital where she later died. 

Her husband is currently in police custody after he was found consuming alcohol with a friend while his 5-year-old daughter was left unattended.

The child is the last and only surviving of the couple's three children. The woman's eldest daughter committed suicide a few years ago; her body was dug up and sexually violated days after her burial while her son was killed in an accident 8 years ago.

To see a lone surviving child standing at the head of her mother's coffin is heartbreaking. To imagine two of her siblings died of suicide and accident are painful. Mommy is now dead and daddy is unstable. She is only five years old. What her future will be like growing up? I hope God spare her and give her a bright future.

This is so heartbreaking.  I will forward this to the lady in Pa who works on such cases.  If she has family here it’s easier to get her to come here. 

She just got another sole survivor little girl of another fam tragedy to come at family in Florida.  The girl needs lots of counseling.  This girl will also.

With all the tragedies happening around this useless low life father, you think he will get sober and seek some treatment for his alcoholism. Where are the family members of the father and mother?

Bai, that’s a troubled society.  Such behavior has been normalized a long time ago.  Working there over the years, this is normal and widespread among the Indian society.  No one gives a shyte.

This kid needs a break in life. She should be adopted and given all opportunities of North America.

Hopefully the drunken father agrees or adoption will be almost impossible.

If he doesn't agree, the child should be taken away from him and he should be deprived of all parental rights.

Some people have different ways of mourning  don't let the facial expressions fool you  

Some could be hurting deeply inside but they have to be brave for the little girl and the ever present media cameras

I doubt this will be a wake up call for the father, I fear if he is given custody of the little girl he will one day get drunk and molest her. I guess the same could be said for anyone   the girl is very vulnerable at this time and her place to be is in the custody of the government agency until something suitable can be done

Adoption is a very long process and I doubt she would have a proper life in Guyana 

I wish her the best and hope one day she grows up to be a successful person and put her past hurt behind her

Does any one have an address, location or some kind of contact information for the girl's caretaker or family members? If you do, please post...I know some people who can provide some assistance.

Thanks.

 

Vish, the location is just near Skeldon Line Path Government Secondary School. It's at Line Path E, it's between the seawall and the public road, a relatively narrow strip of land. Hope this helps. Thanks bro.

I looked at some pictures taken during the wake/funeral and everyone seems to be in a normal mood. I didn't see any sad faces. People were eating and chatting while the woman lay dead between them.   

you noticed that, eh.  i did too.

When my mother died five years ago, she told us she doesn't want us to cry. She lived a good life, aged gracefully and outlived my father and two sisters. Well, everything went as planned until the day of her cremation. That moment everyone breaks down in tears. Amral may have a point. Funerals are different today than the older days. everybody wants to adopt the madrases way of celebrating a dead. I guess we have to go with the flow.

You are a knucklehead. 

What is your frigging problem, chap? Do you think I am Mitwah to call me knucklehead? Don't bring your ignorant shit to me. 

People mourn in different ways. You not "seeing any sad faces" ignores this fact.... This is like someone judging a big book by its colorful and impressive cover.

It does not tell you what mental trauma relatives experience by looking at faces, especially the little girl, who herself has experienced many traumas, the least of which is her drunken alcoholic father who will still be in her life.
