Father of 4 stabbed 14 times

The positive identification was made at the Forensic Science Centre in St James where an autopsy revealed he had been stabbed 14 times.

Relatives said he was found dead shortly after being involved in an altercation at a bar in Princes Town.

When he left the bar at 6 am on Saturday, Gittens was never seen alive again.

On Sunday, relatives received a telephone call from police asking that they go to the Centre on Monday to identify a body that had been found in the Devil’s Woodyard. In an unrelated case, an autopsy done on the body of Bishnu Jagmohan, 61, who was found at the Chase Village Bye-Pass on the Solomon Hochoy Highway yesterday, confirmed he died from suicide.

Pathologists determined that Jagmohan ingested a toxic substance. A relative said Jagmohan was a father of three who worked as a surveyor, until his retirement.

Relatives believe news of a potentially fatal medical condition is what led him to getting depressed and taking his own life.

Family members said Jagmohan planned his death.

“He came to me on the Tuesday before his death and brought his driver’s permit and birth certificate,” said a relative.

“When I asked him why he brought them for me, he said I would need it later.

I asked him what was going on and he said not to worry, I would be getting a call soon.

He wasn’t perfect, but he was a good man and a good father,” the relative said.
