| A family feud that has been ongoing for several years has resulted in the gutting of a multi-million-dollar house at Tract R, Number 36 Village, Corentyne, Berbice, leaving a husband and wife homeless.According to reports, the incident resulted from a deliberate act which was carried out in the wee hours of Thursday,Cheap Adidas Shoes Online China, July 10 last. The Guyana Fire Service, at the end of its investigations, concluded that the fire was the work of an arsonist.The two citizens, 57-year-old Radica Bedessee and her husband, 78-year-old Kedarnauth Maharaj,China Jerseys Cheap, who both re-migrated to Guyana in 1999, have been at the centre of the family feud ever since they decided to secure ownership of a family property and proceeded to build a lavish three-storey structure intended to be their retirement home.According to Ms Bedessee in an interview with Kaieteur News yesterday,cheap nfl jerseys china, she had been residing in England for 31 years, after joining her husband who had lived there for just about 44 years. They decided in the latter part of the 90s that they would return to Guyana.The woman said that after securing permission from the relevant authorities to commence construction on the primarily swampy land, the actual work started in 1998.During that time, the couple said, they travelled back and forth between England and Guyana during the building of the house, until it was completed in 1999.Soon after they had taken up residence, and were attempting to secure a transport for the property, Ms Bedessee said, one of her relatives decided to engage a court battle to prevent this move, even indicating an intention to gain ownership of the property.At first the mode of the battle was characteristic of a blockage of the processing of the transport documents. This caused the couple to re-file their application at least three times in the past years. The matter, according to Ms Bedessee, even reached to the Appeal Court at one point, before it was sent back to the Berbice Court where it originated.But, as if that was not enough,China Jerseys Wholesale, Mr Maharaj revealed, it was in 2000 that persons armed with guns invaded their home twice in two weeks, creating havoc on their property in what he described as an unsuccessful bid to force him and his wife away.During those ordeals, the gunmen, who were allegedly controlled by the relative, created severe damage to items, including a motor car that belonged to the couple. They said that they also received threats to their property.Several other destructive actions were instituted against the couple and their property, all of which were promptly reported to the police.However, according to the couple, not one single investigation into those matters ever led to the identification of a suspect, much less an arrest, leading them to believe that the police were compromised.And while the recent act of arson on the property has caused them to lose millions of dollars, the couple were, fortunately,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, in England at the time.They say that they learnt of the incident minutes after it occurred, but were able to return to see the destruction of their home only a few days ago.According to an evidently distraught Ms Bedessee, almost everything inside of the house was burnt. She noted that there was sufficient evidence to determine that some items were removed from the house before it was destroyed.But while the destruction was tragic, the couple say, they have since learnt that the Fire Service officers who responded spared no effort in curtailing the blaze, an effort which was matched by those that responded with the GuySuCo fire tender.Despite the findings of the Guyana Fire Service, there are those who have been circulating rumours that the fire was created by the combustion of batteries that were stored inside the house, much to the annoyance of the couple, who claim to have knowledge of who the perpetrators are.But though they have lost so much and are still disheartened at what has transpired, the couple related, they will not retreat and intend to rebuild and continue to defy all challenges that come their way.The couple has since been able to rent a property, even as they await a court hearing on the progress of the transport application,Cheap Jerseys, which is slated for August 14 next. |
