Sickly grandpa murdered

Police reported that shortly after 1 pm, the relative entered the house at Arena Road near Tewarie Trace North Extension, when he made the discovery. Police believe the killer broke into the home and beat the frail old man to death.

Maharaj a father of five and grandfather of six, lived with his elderly mother Rampiare Seenanan, 86, who left the country on Saturday. Maharaj’s brother-inlaw Joseph Chanjar that the deceased suffered a stroke about three years ago followed by a heart attack.

Due to his ailments, Chanjar believe that the killer/s did not have to put much effort to take Maharaj’s life.

“If she (Seenanan) was in the country, this would have been a double-homicide. He could have never fight back anybody (sic). It really hard to know that Ramesh died in this manner and not naturally. He was a sickly man.

For the past few years, I spend plenty time with him taking him to doctor and for other things,” Chanjar said. Another relative told Newsday that Maharaj was a quiet man who never interfered with anyone.

The relative said: “We are yet to go inside the house so we don’t know how inside is. He never interfered with anyone. We do not know what, or if anything, is missing. This is really shocking.”
