Father of two stabbed to death in Fyzabad

Randy Ramkissoon died on the spot after he was stabbed in the chest, back and abdominal area by his attacker.

According to a police report, at about 11.30 pm, Ramkissoon was in the living room of the family home watching television when he heard a knocking at the front door and someone calling his name.

When Ramkissoon opened the door a man with a knife ambushed him and began stabbing him investigators said. Speaking to Newsday at the family’s home yesterday, Ramkissoon’s fatherin- law Anthony Alleyne, who lives a short distance away, said he was awakened by the screams of Ramkissoon’s wife Crystal who called out to him saying her husband was killed.

“I did not hear anything until Crystal called out to us,” an emotional Alleyne said.

“I rushed to the house to see Randy covered in blood. He was already dead.” He said Crystal was crying hysterically.

“She was also asleep with the children and awoke after hearing noises from the living room. But by that time the killer was gone.

He killed a father knowing that his children were sleeping in another room. That hurts the most.” He said they did not want the children to see the image of their father covered in blood so they only allowed them to leave the bedroom after the body was removed. “We did not want them to remember their father in that way, it would be too much for them.” Ramkissoon was a self employed mechanic. Alleyne said he was not aware of any threats made on his son-in-law’s life. “This is very strange. But, from what I gather, he may have known his killer. But I am thankful that the children and their mother’s lives were spared.

But what is really sad is that these children will now grow up without a father. We have lost it as a people. There is no more value on human life.” Ramkissoon was described as a family man who was hardworking. “His dream was to purchase land for his children. He loved his children so much. They are still very young to understand what happened, but we explained to them that their daddy is gone,” Alleyne said.

Funeral arrangements are still being made. Members of the Homicide Region Three are investigating.
