| Despite his suspicions that his daughter was the victim of foul play, the father of Mahaica housewife Tharmattie Ramsaram has decided to have her buried, rather than adhere to a High Court ruling that allows for a second autopsy.Baljewan Singh says he was forced to make this decision because ranks from the Mahaica Police Station have repeatedly failed to turn up to witness the second autopsy.In the meantime, his daughter’s remains, which are being kept at the Georgetown Public Hospital mortuary, have begun to deteriorate, after being repeatedly taken from that area in preparation for the post mortem, Mr. Singh said.Kaieteur News has confirmed that the second autopsy was scheduled to be performed Wednesday, but no police ranks turned up. It was then rescheduled for yesterday, but again, the ranks failed to show.“The police not turning up for the PM. The body deteriorating. How long you gun go on like this? We will just bury the body; there is no justice,China Jerseys,” said Mr. Singh, who has travelled thrice from Rosignol,Cheap Jerseys Wholesale, Berbice,holesale Soccer Jerseys, to Georgetown in the hope of witnessing the second post mortem.Tharmattie Ramsaram, 34, of Mahaica, died at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) on March 24 last, allegedly after ingesting a poisonous substance.Kaieteur News understands that a post mortem, performed by government pathologist Nehaul Singh, indicated that death was due to pesticide poisoning.But Ramsaran’s father expressed suspicion that his daughter did not ingest the poison herself, since she suffers from seizures that have rendered the mother of two unable to walk unaided or do the simplest tasks.“She can’t open a bottle of soft drink by herself,” Mr. Singh said.The father contended that his daughter was incapacitated some eight years ago after being badly beaten by a man, whom he identified.Kaieteur News was told that attempts were being made to have the woman cremated. However, through his attorney Bernard De Santos, Mr. Singh filed an injunction in the High Court requesting that the cremation be deferred “until a second and more through post mortem is done.”Mr. Singh said that his daughter had always insisted that she be buried rather than cremated.It is alleged that around March 23, last, Tharmattie Ramsaram contacted her father by telephone and told him that she wanted him to take her to his home. Kaieteur News was told that because of her condition,CHeap NFL Jerseys China, a teenage boy at the woman’s residence would dial and hold the phone for her.Mr. Singh alleged that on March 24, at around 10:00 hrs, he attempted to contact his daughter by telephone. He said that her 14-year-old son answered and said that his mother was ‘cleaning chicken.’ The father said that this aroused his suspicion,Cheap NFL Jerseys Free Shipping, since he knew that his daughter’s illness would have rendered her incapable of performing this task.The father alleged that he kept phoning his daughter, only to be repeatedly told that she was ‘cleaning chicken.’ He said that eventually, at around 15:00 hrs, the child told him that “mommy drink poison.”He said that his daughter was taken to the Mahaicony Hospital before being transferred to the GPHC,MLB Jerseys China Authentic, where she succumbed.The police at Mahaica were subsequently informed.Mr. Singh said that the conflicting statements from several individuals aroused his suspicions.One report he received was that there were no pesticides at his daughter’s house, and this raised questions as to how she could have acquired the poison. Rather, it was alleged that pesticides were stored at the home of another relative who lives a few houses away.Kaieteur News understands that the woman’s husband is a rice farmer.The father reportedly became even more concerned after being told that his daughter would be cremated. He subsequently contacted Senior Counsel De Santos, who filed an injunction to have the cremation stopped and a second post mortem performed. This was to have been conducted by pathologist Dr. Vivekanand Brijmohan.But De Santos and his client say that they were stymied by ranks at the Mahaica Police Station who failed to turn up for the post mortem.De Santos said that he had contacted a senior police officer at the station and he had indicated that a constable would be instructed to view the post mortem. However, the constable failed to turn up.Mr. Singh said that the daughter’s remains began to deteriorate after being repeatedly being taken out of the mortuary freezing area in preparation for the autopsy. He said that after the post mortem was again delayed yesterday, he bowed to the wishes of his daughter’s husband to have the remains buried. |
