That's correct, chief. Mannie Haniff used to perform at PPP fund-raising events too. When he appeared on PNC stage he became persona non grata at Freedom House.

Same thing happened to the Mighty Enchanter and his wife Farida.

It must be pointed out that singers, band members and comedians earned a pittance at those PPP events and one would have expected Freedom House to show them some understanding and empathy when they were hired by the PNC regime. After all, they were not politicians. If they had depended solely on PPP engagements for their income they couldn't survive as performing artistes.

 

That drunken Nehru has no shame. He is well aware of all of this dirtiness of the PPP and all because of some free piss from the PPP he turnoing a blind eye.

Free Piss.

Back then, police were investigating a spate of brutal, unsolved attacks on lovers on the seawall. Prior to the double murder, a young rank from the Guyana People’s Militia (GPM) had been killed under similar circumstances. Around the same time, a young woman was beaten and left unconscious in the same area where the GPM rank had been slain. Luckily, passersby spotted the woman lying on the foreshore and saved her from being drowned by the incoming tide.
Crime Chief Cecil Roberts believed that Dolly Baksh and Tejpaul Singh hand been bludgeoned by the same apparently deranged man who seemed to be waging a vendetta against couples who ventured on the seawall.
According to the sleuth, it was “quite clear” that other lovers had suffered similar attacks but had not reported to the police.
The Crime Chief also felt that some of the victims might even have come face to face with the killer and would possibly be able to identify him.
In an appeal to the public, he explained that this information from other victims was vital for police to identify the person or persons behind the double-murder. Meanwhile, detectives cautioned other lovers to stay away from such lonely spots.
The day after the double-murder, police announced that they had made an arrest. It is unclear who he was or why he was held. However, the man was eventually released. From newspaper clippings I sifted through, nothing more was heard about the ‘seawall stalker.’
I found out that if ever there was a ‘cold case’, it was this one. Crime Chief Cecil Roberts has migrated, Julian Mendes, the reporter who covered the story for the Chronicle, is dead, and so are some of the detectives who had investigated the murders.
I checked the internet, and found out that persons on one website suggested that Dolly and her friend were done in by persons linked to a political group.
One contributor erroneously stated that the victims were slain at the Ogle foreshore. The contributor also mistakenly said that they were ‘decapitated’ (remember they were clubbed to death) on the same day of Dolly’s last performance.
I spoke to a few people who were around at the time of the killings and discovered that this is the version of events that they had heard back then and still believe.
But another person who knew Dolly Baksh well suggested that her death might have been orchestrated by persons from a political opposition group. He too, provided no evidence to link these individuals to the killings.
A relative of Dolly’s friend, Tejpaul Singh, also dismissed the theory that a madman had killed the two friends. However, he feels that an individual close to Dolly had a hand in her death. According to the relative, this individual went into hiding for several days after her death.
So, were Dolly Baksh and Tejpaul Singh slain by persons with political affiliations? Or were they innocent victims of a deranged, psychotic killer? But just who was the ‘seawall stalker’, and why did the attacks suddenly stop? Who was the suspect that police had held, and why was he arrested?
At the end of it all, after my visits to the archives, my trip to Kitty, and my surfing of the internet, I had come full circle.
Like ‘Skip’ Roberts back then, I would never know the identity of the person who killed Tejpaul Singh, and his friend, Dolly Baksh, the girl who used to dance as if she had no bones.


I got some questions here about this.

 

1. Was Lewis and his intelligence men doing an investigation into Dolly's death at the same time that Skip and his men were doing their investigation into Dolly's death.  If Lewis was also on the case like Skip then who ordered him to be on the case at the same time Skip was on the case and why?

 

2. Was a pair of pants found at the crime scene?

 

3.  Did the pair of pants not fit the victims?

 

4.  Did the pair of pants also not fit the detained mad man so he was released? 

 

5. Did the intelligence men order the mad man to be released?
