Security guards K / News accused of murdering homeless man
– as an autopsy reveals that a homeless man has been beheaded
Died, he called Mohabir Singh ‘Emile.’
Kaieteur News – Two Kaieteur News security guards were charged last night for allegedly killing a homeless man. Yesterday the post-mortem examination was carried out by Dr. Nehaul Singh, who gave the cause of death as a brain haemorrhage due to blunt head trauma.
As a result, the security guards were charged with the death of 58-year-old Mohabir Singh, popularly known as ‘Emile.’
According to reports, Singh’s body was found dead under a shed at the Saff Street Kaieteur News office, Charlestown, Georgetown. His body was found last Tuesday around 08:30 hours by a Kaieteur News employee. The employee had gone to tow a truck, when he saw Singh’s body lying in her tray.
As a result of the discovery, the matter was reported and police arrested two Kaieteur News security guards for questioning. Both men were subsequently charged with murder.
Kaieteur News had reported that Singh had been homeless for about 25 years because of his drug addiction.
According to Singh’s son, Mohinder Singh, his father was a wealthy goldsmith who owned his own business in West Ruimveldt, Georgetown. However, due to drug addiction, which developed in his 30s, Singh lost everything and eventually became homeless. He was put into rehab twice, and became a “brand new man,” but he soon returned to his old habits, Mohinder said.
The son also revealed that his father even spent some time in prison, where he wrote the CXC exams and achieved distinction.
According to police, Singh’s body has been handed over to relatives for cremation, while the two guards are expected to make their first court appearance on Monday.
