A Guyanese man was beaten and chopped to death on Friday night in Trinidad after masked men stormed the house he was playing cards in.
According to the Trinidad newspaper Newsday, Ramsami “Rajin” Sami, 24, was at a house at John Lane Extension, D’ Abadie at about 11.30 pm on Friday playing a game of cards when three masked men entered.
The Newsday report added that police reported that Sami was fatally attacked by the men. His body bore several marks of violence and chop wounds, the news report added.
Sami’s sister, Shaivani Singh, told Newsday that her brother worked at a sawmill and would send money to one of his sisters here in Guyana.
The killing has baffled the woman who told the Trinidadian newspaper, “We are hearing all kind of stories as to why he was killed, but I think we will never know the truth, and I don’t think that we will get any justice because of the stories.”
Sami, according to his sister, has been in Trinidad and Tobago for four years. He left Guyana she said “to better his life”. “I knew him to be a good person.
He would never have done anybody anything,” Singh said.
All of Sami’s family are in Trinidad except the sister who he supports back here in Guyana. Trinidad police are investigating the killing.
