Did you know there is one (and only one) country in South America with English as the official language? The country is home to the oldest land on the planet and hands down the most beautiful waterfall in the world. It’s also home to pristine rainforests which unlike rainforests in other South American countries, is not being decimated on a large scale by corporate interests. And as if that weren’t enough, the country is also Zionism free so much so that when Jim Jones wanted to get out of ever nosy and private business meddling with big brother, he moved his church there. In other words, Guyana is the shit.
Unfortunately, like much of South America, Guyana too is plagued by crime. What we see in these pictures is the aftermath of murder that happened on January 16, 2013 at Angoy’s Avenue in New Amsterdam, Berbice in Guyana. A renowned fisherman by the name of Narindra Thakoor hacked his 29 year old estranged wife Patricia Bacchus to death over a dispute the two were having. Apparently, their 7 years old relationship had been very rocky so she left him, but decided to come back and try to work things out for the sake of their two children. What bad idea that had proven to be.
Patricia, whose full name was Bhanmattie Devi Bacchus met with Narendra Thakoor nicknamed Dado on January 16 with an intention to reconcile. An attempt to work things out however did not work out and the two got into a heated argument which was resolved by Dado with a cutlass. Narendra hacked Patricia violently with up and fled with a bottle of insecticide in his hand. The police later caught him and took him to the New Amsterdam Hospital for poison tests which appeared negative so instead of leaving him there, the cops took him to the Central Police Station.
Soon after the man started vomiting and soiling his pants and the cops realized that he did indeed ingest poison. They rushed him back to the hospital but it was already too late. What a way to mess things up. He couldn’t find a peaceful way to live with his wife so now they are both dead and their kids left without parents. Good job.
