Headless cocks worry Maraval residents


AN uneasy feeling has descended on residents of an upscale Maraval neighbourhood over the nightly delivery of headless chickens at the crossroads of Champs Elysees and Bergerac Road. The dead birds are cocks.


So concerned are residents that they have called in Fr Garfield Rochard, the parish priest of the Church of the Assumption which serves the area. At their request Fr Rochard visited the crossroads yesterday where two headless cocks, one black the other brown, lay very dead on opposite corners.


Fr Rochard told Newsday he responded to calls from his parishioners who fear that someone is either working some form of obeah, or up to mischief. He said he responded and was told that the cocks are being placed at the corners between 3 am and 4 am for the last three nights, and if it continues it would be reported to the police.


In the meantime no one is touching the birds, not even the garbage collectors although the smell of decay is increasing.
