Prelude to 2001

Left: "Wuk pon she! Wuk pon she!" as chanted by those who created this 1997 effigy (photo, voodoo doll) of Janet Jagan, tossing it into the air as a pseudo-voodoo ceremony is conducted outside the High Court, with one wish: that the court rejects Janet Jagan/PPP as the legitimate winner of the 1997 general elections. Right, the 2000 PNC Congress; Desmond Hoyte, the Party Leader arrives. This is the final Congress before the 2001 general elections is contested.

On May 4th, early in the morning, a father (Bemchand Barran, left) and his 10-yr-old son (Mervyn Barran) from Enterprise are executed in the backdam where they went to catch shrimp. Not far from them Mr. Dhanpaul Jagdeo (photo, right), from Non Pareil, is found. Each was executed. One policeman seemed to have taken the case personally, police detective Harry Kooseram. The PPP monopolised the funerals, suppressing protests from the Indian community.The plan to ignite a race war was averted, but the pressure continued.

 

Yet the PPP has never brough JUSTICE to the family of these men.

 

NEVER!

 

NO EAST INDIAN should ever vote for the PPP.

 

Actual East Indians should SPIT on the PPP.

 

The PPP is worst than CRAB!

This happened under the PPP and ANITA NEVER got JUSTICE.

 

 

____________

 

After the PPP Congress in July 2002, Guyana was stalled. Villagers turned in early and changed their lifestyle as a result of the daily attacks. Police stations began to padlock their gates and erect sandbags. 

 

 

Many East Indian women and young girls were being raped under this PPP Government with no JUSTICE.  

 

PICTURE (Anita Singh) had her hair cut off after she was robbed and raped by bandits under the PPP.

 

 

She still waits for justice from ROHEE.  But she is now abandoned, left all alone to peice together her life.  She made several attempt to commit sucide with no social support from the PPP Government.

This book was extremely interesting to read.

 

Crime-Race-Culture-Developing-Country by Howard Jones.  It was a book on crime in Guyana in 1981 - under Burnham.

 

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Crime-...ountry/dp/047127996X.

 

 

This is what the essence of the book was on:

 

Annotation:This book examines whether differences in criminality exist among racial groups in Guyana and if so whether they can be attributed to the cultural differences between the racial groups.
  
  

 

 

Professor JONES said that "Data were obtained on factors which research has shown to be associated with crime, namely, factors connected with the quality of family life in the offender's family of origin, age, area of residence, religion, education, marital and home circumstances, employment record, gambling or drinking habits, circumstances of the offense, and previous criminal record."

 

Professor Jones found  "Data indicate that although East Indians are relatively more prone to commit violent crimes, Africans commit more crimes in total."

 

The bkack man was more likely to be caught.  70% of the white collar and drug crime were committed by East Indians but they were never caught.

 

 

The Africans got a raw deal.  WHY the BLOODY Black father was a delinquent most of the time.

 

 

Professor Jones found that

 

"The family is at the heart of Indian culture. African family life, on the other hand, is emotionally deprived, unstable, marked by the frequent absence of any permanent father figure, and characterized by the serial mating by their mothers."

 

This is serious shyte from a white man.

From the UNODC

 

Since the mid-1990s, Guyana experienced periods of very
high homicide rates. 

 

Roger and his side kick fine man along with Gajraj phantom squant killed over 300 black men in less than 3 years.

 

They used black terminators to kill black man and when the finished that job, those same black terminators are running wild all over the country terrorising East Indians today.

 

The Only difference today is we have a well armed East Indian Gan operating in Berbice.

 

THIS IS THE LEGACY OF THE PPP.

 

Your response Skeldon Man  - run to Rohee and ask him to put up or shut up.

FM

From the UNODC again:

 

During the last decade (the Jagdeo/Ramotar decade), and continuing to the present, Guyana  experienced a fairly high and steadily increasing incidence of gun use in the commission of violent crimes. This acute problem is as a result of Guyana being unable to police its borders and law enforcers being in cohort with the gun traffickers.

 

MORGAN was the best friend of a former Commissioner.

 

 

FM

From the study the majority of inmates in Guyana is between 18-30.

 

WOW!

 

The most productive age.

 

These chaps should be in University or in the factories or offices not in JAIL.  Let us help them by learning them a TRADE.

 

Set up a shareholder plantation with Government funds in the Savannah to plant food and the profits are share among the inmates who can stay in the business after jail.

Gunmen invade Bartica Police Stationattack residents 
Twelve killed, several injured
escape with weapons and ammo

Cambio-Hussain-robbed  

 

The mining community of Bartica was transformed into a virtual slaughter house last night, after scores ofheavily-armed gunmen launched a brazen 60 minute attack in the heart of the community, killing 12 people, including three policemen and wounding five other people.


Eyewitnesses said that two of the policemen were slaughtered while huddling in cupboards after the gunmen stormed the station.
The third was gunned down outside the station.

Mark Benschop  Spreading-goodwill-Mark 


Regional Chairman Holbert Knights also confirmed that five civilians were placed to lie facedown on the Transport and Harbour Stelling, located at First Avenue, Bartica, and then shot in their heads.

SHOCKED: Hundreds of Barticians converge at the river side yesterday to view the dead bodies as they are transported from the area into a boat.

Guyana Chronicle


Those confirmed dead are Lance Corporal Zakhir, two other ranks identified only as Fredericks and Osbourne; Ervin Perreira, a 72-year-old security guard employed at CB&R Mining Enterprise in First Avenue, Edwin Gilkes.
The wounded include a Constable Campbell.
At press time, efforts were being made to transport the injured to Georgetown.
Eyewitnesses reported seeing the gunmen, numbering about 20, and brandishing assault rifles, driving through the streets in a police vehicle that they had taken from the station, and shooting wildly at civilians.
Regional Chairman Holbert Knights also confirmed that the gang eventually escaped, reportedly by boat, with arms and ammunition that they had taken from the station after storming the building.


There are also reports that the gunmen also carted off a safe containing a large quantity of gold that they had taken from a First Avenue jewellery store.       
Eyewitnesses said that the surprise attack began at around 22:00 hrs, when the gunmen came ashore by boat near the Transport and Harbour wharf.
Reports said that on landing, the gang pounced on five labourers who were loading a Banks DIH vessel.
From all reports, the victims were ordered to lie on the wharf and then shot in their heads.
The gunmen then moved on to the Bartica Police Station, which is also located in First Avenue.
After shooting one of the ranks who was outside, the gunmen then ran into the building, reportedly mowing down the two terrified ranks who had hidden in cupboards. Kaieteur News understands that five ranks were in the station at the time and about eight more were in their barrack-rooms.
Kaieteur News was told that Constable Campbell was shot in the side but managed to conceal himself in the station until the gunmen left.
According to reports, the gang then removed several firearms as well as ammunition from the station. At the time, the station was equipped with shotguns, rifles and handguns, a source said. After leaving the station, some of the gunmen then boarded a police van that was in the compound.
They then drove out of the compound and began driving brazenly down First Avenue, shooting at buildings and passersby.
“Imagine, the bandits just collect a police vehicle and driving through the streets and shooting,” one resident said.
Meanwhile, some of the other gunmen barged into the CB&R Mining Enterprise, located on First Avenue, where 72-year-old security guard Ervin Perreira was on duty.
According to reports, Perreira was placed in a freezer and shot dead. The owner of the company, C. Baboolall, confirmed that the gunmen also carted off a safe containing a large quantity of gold. One police rank said that he was just about to go to the station when he heard heavy gunfire.
Shortly afterwards, he saw a police vehicle heading towards him. He assumed that the men were police ranks and was about to go to the vehicle when some residents shouted that the gunmen were in the vehicle.
He immediately hid until the gunfire had subsided.
Eventually, an eyewitness said that he saw the police vehicle head towards the stelling. Several men then jumped out of the vehicle, leaving the engine running.
They then entered a boat.
The resident said that he picked up an injured civilian and drove the vehicle to the Bartica Hospital.
Many of the residents said that they huddled in their homes during the approximately one-hour siege. One woman recalled eventually venturing out of her house and seeing several bodies strewn on the ground.
“There were just bodies (everywhere). I saw five bodies at the stelling, a policeman dead by the gate, and a taxi driver dead in his car.”
At around 02:00 hrs, five of the injured were brought by plane to the Ogle Aerodrome, before being admitted to the Georgetown Hospital.
The Joint Services has since launched an air, sea and land operation in response to the attack at Bartica.

   


A high level team of government officials was preparing to leave Georgetown early this morning for the community.

MORE EVIDENCE OF TERROR UNDER THE PPP

 

 

Fresh terror on East Coast
-- child shot dead in gun attack
By Shauna Jemmott
A NINE-YEAR-OLD girl was shot dead and her teenage brother wounded when black clothes gunmen sprayed their house with bullets early yesterday morning in a fresh wave of terror on the East Coast Demerara.

 
SHOT DEAD:Christine Sookra
  
   
Christine Sookra was hit in the head by a bullet as the terrified family huddled together in their front bedroom at Lot 205, Track 'A', Coldingen, just after midnight. The family had crept there to hide after the gunmen opened up a barrage of fire on the concrete house.

Christine's brother, Ryan, 14, was shot in the left hand and admitted to a city hospital where he was reported stable.

Their father, Rhajpaul Sookra, called 'Pally', 42, said they were asleep at around 12:30 hrs yesterday when barking dogs woke him up.

The carpenter contractor said he saw a man dressed in black with a "long gun" standing in front of his yard.

He said he quickly walked through the house, dimly lit by a lamp, and gathered his wife, daughter, two sons and a niece and nephew staying with them, in his bedroom, which he thought was the safest place.

 
TARGET: the house, which the gunmen targeted
  
   
Sookra said the gunmen ordered them to open the doors to the house and after no one responded, the shooting began.

The hail of bullets cracked glass windows and blasted the concrete walls of the house, he related, adding that the shooting lasted for about 20 minutes.

"I told them to lie down...and my daughter was lying on the ground between the bed and the window but raised up to peep," he said.

A bullet hit the child in the head, tearing a portion of the left side, relatives said.

"After she get shot I start call for help...and that was it... the bandits left."

Sookra said no one went to their rescue, as everyone in the neighbourhood was scared of being shot by the gunmen, who later "ran down the street."

 

GRIEVING: father Rhajpaul Sookra

 
  
The father said he called the Vigilance Police Station on his cellular phone but the line was busy. He then called the head of the Community Policing Group in the area and the police arrived shortly after.

Sookra said he lifted his daughter to his car, which was parked under the house, but it had mechanical problems and she was transferred to a police vehicle.

He said he went with his two wounded children and the police vehicle drove into the Vigilance Police Station compound where an officer checked his daughter for a pulse and shook his head in pity.

They were then transported to the city hospital where Christine died while receiving medical attention.

Her brother Ryan witnessed doctors checking his sister and pronouncing her dead.

"Me son sit right there and saw when they wrapped her up...he keeps crying all the time," the grieving father said.

Three bullets fired from under the house by the attackers pierced the wood floor, the bed and ceiling without hitting any of the seven occupants lying on the floor, Sookra said.

"I don't know how God save us and the bullets passed right through the mattress and the roof," he said.

Jagdesh, 16, the eldest child, said he saw when his sister fell after she was shot but thought she was only lying low to shelter from the bullets.

"I thought she was going to lie down on the floor and I pushing she and telling she go under the bed," he said.

He said that after they realised his sister was not moving, his father said she had been shot and started crying for help.

Just then, his other brother, Ryan, called out that he too was shot, and Jagdesh said he ran for a cup of water to wet their wounds.

"She (was) just...breathing and stopping, breathe and stop and she (jerking) up every few minutes or so, and (we) take a cloth (her white baby shawl) and wrapped up she head."

 
IN SHOCK: mother Angela and brother Jagdesh
 
  
Jagdesh said that although he saw the gaping wound on Christine's head, he was praying that the bullet had only grazed her.

In the gun attack, small sections of the decorative concrete front of the painted house were blasted away, windows, curtains, a glass door to the verandah, and the wooden front door were pocked with bullet holes and cracks.

The family's prayer 'altar' used for daily worship was smashed by bullets and broken ornaments were scattered on the floor of the living room. A .762*39 spent shell, used in AK47/M70 rifles was found at the scene.

There were bloodstains, scattered brain tissue and strands of the dead girl's hair plastered on the bedroom wall and ceiling.

Police said they recovered seven .762*39 shells and four 12 gauge cartridges at the scene.

After leaving the Sookra house, the five men attacked two other families not far away, carting off $17,000 cash and jewellery worth $17,000.

 
WOUNDED: Ryan Sookra
  
   
Kishore Mohamed said he was forced to give the men his fortnightly salary, which he had collected just Friday afternoon.

He said he and his wife Marai Nagamootoo and their two daughters were at home sleeping and were aroused by rapid gunfire in the neighbourhood. Minutes after, their window panes were shattered and their door kicked open.

Four men entered the house, placed Mohamed to sit and interrogated him, ordering him to hand over money and jewellery.

The porter said he handed them everything he had without hesitation and the men left.

A neighbour said he too was awakened by the gunshots at Sookra's house and later heard a man calling out.

"I heard `Inside! Inside! Inside!' but with much aggression. As the sound came closer to my house, I hear 'Is phantom - open up."

He said that after he went into hiding in his dimly lit, grilled and tightly secured house, he heard the men breaking his louvre window, and another who appeared to be the group's mastermind, insisting that they should not shoot.

"The person continuously was adamant that he doesn't want shooting," while another kept insisting that "somebody" had to be inside the house, he said.

The men left and went next door to Mohamed's.

The neighbour said he saw four men armed with heavy guns and outfitted in black attack the family while another stood guard on the road with a long gun.

He watched them kick down the neighbour's door and witnessed the robbery in the house, lit by a lamp, before they ran on a dam at the back.

"The way they were dressed, one would have been easily tempted to believe that they were the (black clothes) police", the villager said.

He said the men stood on the dam "bitterly arguing among themselves for about five minutes as to who did it (the murder) and why. One got the impression that it was unintentional but criminals are heartless people."

Her teacher said Christine would occasionally visit his home for help with her schoolwork, and described her as "very mannerly, very respectful, cooperative, very ambitious in terms of schoolwork and outstandingly beautiful."

Distraught residents of Coldingen are calling on the government to establish a police station and run electricity lights in the village.

"This area needs police protection and electricity...there is need for police patrol," an elderly resident said adding, "What is the point having all these telephone lines and no basic utilities?"

A neighbour, Surujpaul Budhu, cried bitterly as he related what he saw and heard.

"At around 12:30, me and my wife were asleep and we heard some gunshots...I heard one thief say 'Wake the man up'. My wife Rosy started screaming and I locked her mouth with my hand and out the light in my house and we lie down flat."

Budhu's tears fell faster as he recalled just lying in his house, unable to do anything to save his neighbour.

"I couldn't do anything Ryan called out to me. He said `Uncle' three times. I'm afraid...next thing I heard, police come, then I heard Christine died." He said he too travelled to the hospital with his neighbour.

Sookra said that just a few days ago, he and Christine fixed her bicycle, and his wife took her shopping - all in preparation for school Monday.

He said that for the past two weeks, his only daughter had been sleeping on the bed with him and his wife while her visiting cousins used her bed.

Crying bitterly, he said he is scared of losing his wife too as he feels the tragedy is too much for her to handle.

"My wife is a stroke case...I begging God and me daughter who died to take care of her mother, two brothers and father."

The mother, Angela Sookra, cried uncontrollably and complained of feeling "too weak to say anything."

A few minutes later, she broke down and tearfully talked about her only daughter and last child.

"She was a loving girl...Look how me daughter small, me daughter ain't even enjoy life...I see me daughter life lef she body, and I can't do nothing fuh help she."

Nearly two hours before the Coldingen attack, residents of neighbouring Enterprise called police after they saw two strange men acting suspiciously in the village at around 22:40 hrs.

Police said the men started running after they spotted a police patrol and one of them was arrested after the officers gave chase.

Further investigation led to the questioning of a woman at Dazzel Housing Scheme, a few villages away, but while police were on their way to her house a gunman fired shots and escaped.

Police said they searched the house and found 10 grams of cannabis.

They said they arrested an illegal French national and the woman.

East Coast residents are in fear of heavily armed gangs following the crime wave of 2002-2003.

Gunmen 10 days ago launched a deadly attack on the Appanna family at Non Pariel.

In that attack, a 14-year-old girl hid under her bed while bandits stabbed her father, Davechand Appanna, 45, to death. Her mother Hemrajie, 42, was left unconscious from a fractured skull and stab wounds.

Residents from that village have been fleeing since that attack and have called for a police outpost in the area.

Days after, gunmen shot and killed a young policeman during a police operation in Buxton.

Bandits raid murdered man’s shop

 

With bloodstains still on the walls, Cedric Blackman’s widow could not bear to spend the first night after his death in their house. Instead she slept over at friends, who live across the street, and returned home early yesterday morning to find the place ransacked and almost $1 million in cash and valuables missing.

Phelmena Lancaster standing in her shop which was raided by thieves yesterday several hours after her husband was murdered.

One of the men who broke into Phelmena Lancaster’s house was arrested hours after a resident saw him leaving the Lot 57 Russell and Howes streets place weighed down with loot.

The loot included cans of blue paint Blackman, who was chopped to death on Tuesday morning by a man who reportedly went “berserk”, had bought to “brighten the place”.

In his haste to escape with the loot during the early hours of yesterday morning the suspect reportedly spilled the paint. Traces of it were left on Russell Street and when the suspect was arrested police discovered splatters of blue paint on his body.

When Stabroek News visited the Charlestown, Georgetown location shortly after 11 am yesterday relatives and friends were with the 68-year-old widow. Pointing to the door which connects her ground floor living room to the shop, Lancaster explained that the men had broken the two padlocks that secured it.

Tears begin to trickle down her cheeks as she gestured to the now half-empty shelves in the small shop. Blackman, she explained, had operated the small business and it was from this that they got a large part of their income.

“Look, look,” Lancaster said between tears, “this shelf de full of corn beef and they gone with allâ€Ķtwo case of soap and a case of oil and a whole set of things they gone with. They pick out de expensive things them in the shop and go away with it.”

Relatives, Lancaster said, had given her $200,000 hours after her husband

Sharon McCammon pointing to the pair of slippers which one of the men who broke into their house left behind.

was killed.  The money, the distressed woman explained, was to be used to take care of the wake for her husband and to help with the funeral expenses.

“I lock the money in the wardrobe and when I come home and realize that somebody break in the place then I went and check and I found that missing and other money I had there de gone too,” Lancaster said her sobs starting up again.

A quantity of gold jewellery which the woman also kept locked in her wardrobe was also discovered missing along with clothes and a number of household items including a pump. The woman said that the total value of the things which were stolen is about $1 million.

Hours before, Lancaster said, she’d watched as a distant relative chop her husband to death. The grief, she explained, has not fully hit her and now she has to worry about all the things that were stolen from her house.

“Being a widow na easy for nobody. Nothing na easy in this countryâ€Ķimagine is just yesterday [Tuesday] that man murder my husband and now today these people don’t have no heart they break in my place and put me in more distress,” Lancaster said.

Through the
window

It was the window to her second floor bedroom, Sharon McCammon told Stabroek News, that the thieves used to enter the Russell and Howes streets home.

McCammon, who was at work when the chopping occurred on Tuesday morning, said she, like her mother, was unwilling to sleep in their house that night. It was McCammon who discovered that the house had been broken into.

“Early this morning [yesterday] when I come over and I open the front door I notice right away that the shop door de break open,” the woman told this newspaper.

Later, when she went to the second floor where the bedrooms were located she discovered that hers had been ransacked. Further investigation, McCammon said, revealed that $41,000 in cash had gone missing and the thieves also took some of her clothing.

“You can tell that they spend a long time in the house because they pick out the clothes they like,” McCammon said. “And the house was left in darkness so they must be come with their own light too.”

Out in the yard McCammon showed this newspaper a wooden post at the side of the house, close to her bedroom window which she believes the suspects used to enter the house.

A pair of slippers was also left near the post.

“Is a lil after I find the house ransacked a resident tell me that they see [name of suspect] walking from the house with a set of things on himâ€Ķso I went with the police to his house and after we ask him some question they arrest he,” McCammon said.
