Deportation reprieve for Toronto Guyanese who killed son
After being convicted and sentenced twice for killing his 6-month-old son, a Guyanese man in Toronto, Canada has won a new hearing in a five-year battle to block his deportation here.
The man Ramnaresh Katwaru, 33, of Tuxedo Court previously filed two successful appeals to the Federal Court of Canada that have prevented him from being deported thus far.
According to a report in yesterday’s Toronto Sun, Justice Elizabeth Heneghan of Canada’s Federal Court prevented another deportation bid when she ruled on September 17 that “the enforcement officer failed to fully consider all the evidence …including the applicant’s fear of being at risk if returned to Guyana.” She ordered another pre-removal trial to determine if Katwaru will be at risk if returned here.
Katwaru was jailed for 10 years in 1998 after a jury had convicted him of manslaughter. But the sentence was quashed in 2001 by the Court of Appeal which ordered a re-trial because of legal errors. He was jailed for 50 months in August, 2002
The court had heard that in February 1996 Katwaru slammed the back of his son’s head into a sofa.
He choked him, threw him into the crib and tossed him onto the bed before the mother caught the boy, the report said. The child died of a swollen brain.
Katwaru arrived in Canada in 1992 as a landed immigrant but never took out citizenship.

on October 6th, 2008 7:00 amThis man should have remain in jail….he commited a very serious offence,killing his own son,this must be the devil.
I hope the canadian goverment keep him there…..if ever deported to Guyana he will only added to the lawness down there.
Good luck for his lawyers…….because he will be unable to find himself a job the goverment will intern have give him food stamp and logging soon….this is why these G-8 countries are a breeding ground for criminal activities.

In reply to the above comment on October 9th, 2008 9:01 am:You are on the same page as me on that “amen-ra” Good riddance to bad rubbish, Canada cannot see inside the minds of people and when he was screened to come here he obviously passed the test, but he went on to commit a very SERIOUS crime on an INFANT and hence canada has the right to call the shots now, how can some people say that this monster is now a north american killer and canada has to keep him here, well i’m going to make sure that even the wife beaters also share the same deportation fate because they did’nt learn that here either, they are used to abusing their female companions since back in guyana and once they come here where the woman can be better educated and excel, “they” the wife beaters become even more insecure and the abuse become more intense.

on October 6th, 2008 12:42 pmBaby killers come in all shape and forms, this abusive behaviour is quite common in lower income and families that live below poverty level , also teen pregnancies.
I might also add that quite a number of nannys and daycare have harmed children placed in their trust.

Some of them are worst than the worst beast !!!
Ramnaresh Katwaru is one such beast.
He must be treated as such.
No judge in their right senses should consider any leniency for this macabre criminal.
Mr. Beast was not lenient with a 6-month-old defenceless, angel.
The Beast must be given the Devil’s treatment.
I would really like to dispense some of that treatment on the Beast.

So are you saying that the canadian Govt should keep him there —-why should they ? The immigration laws says that if you are not a citizen and commit 1st degree felony –you are to be deported back to your country of origin .
I have read of cases in the Us where permanent cirizens of 15 yrs and some citizens that were deported for less serious serious crimes that he did . He dont deserve to stay in other peoples countries if he cant abide by the rules —Angie –take NOTE .

Because he broke the law here and is guyana he came from in the first place so we don’t need to be stuck with another baby killer, in case you are too dense to notice canada has enough of those and from a true canadian prospective he needs to be sent back where he came from after serving his time here plain and simple.

on October 7th, 2008 1:28 amIf we were in the old tetament, where eye for eye and tooth for tooth is stated, I would say give him the death penalty.But we’re in the new testament and Canada has no death penalty, so I would say lock him up and throw away the key.
Don’t deport him, guyana has enough on their hands with monsters like him.Don’t add to it.
A murderer is a murderer and can kill again.He should be ashame of himself for the rest of his life for taking the life of an innocent little baby.Nothing in my view will ever justify a crime of this nature.
Send him to kingstan penitentiary and lose him in the general population there let him taste jail house justice.

on October 7th, 2008 11:56 amThat’s a very cruel act and the judge should have thrown the book at him. It’s too bad Canada doesn’t have a life sentence. If you commit first degree murder it’s 25 years. Anything less it’s a slap on the wrist or a pat on the back.
They will decide not to deport him and he will go home on vacation the next month. They all cry out that Guyana is so bad that they cannot go back there and when they are granted stay they go home after.

on October 9th, 2008 4:31 pmThis evil- minded creature should be executed and not given the chance to see sunlight any more.
If he can take the life of his own innocent child, then the world is at risk for this evil.
I hope the government officials in Canada deal with him accordingly. I am embarrassed as a US based Guyanese to know what we migrate for and what we ended uo doing. This is making international news, and Guyanese are the ones to carry the bad name.
May his innocent son’s soul rest in peace.

on October 10th, 2008 12:17 pmOne of the largest contributors to our Guyanese crime situation is (you guessed it) DEPORTATION FROM CANADA, UK and USA. Most of these persons either learned or fine tuned their criminal abilities in those societies.
To deport them and foist them upon our society which already has so many inherent problems is very unfair and also criminal in itself. Add to that the fact that most of them have no real ties to this society and there is the concoction for the crime explosion that seems so endless in Guyana in the last ten years or so.
This man should have been charged with and convicted of murder then sentenced to the maximum penalty in that country - LIFE IN PRISON WITH NO PAROLE. As it is now the Canadian gov’t has the right to deport him to his country of origin.
On the other hand (and I have relatives who have been deported from the UK and US) the Guyana govt needs to have something in place to monitor these ‘deportees’ to ensure they do not engage in criminal activities or consort with known criminals. If they do break the law they must be dealt with severely. They must be made to understand that they will be accepted as productive and not destructive components of our society.
