East Canje man succumbs after blow to head

The 21-year-old labourer who was hospitalized in a critical condition after he was hit in the head at Canje, Berbice, succumbed on Friday and his father is seeking justice, even as two suspects were rearrested.

Omesh Seelall, called ‘Rovin’ of Lot 18 Betsy Ground, East Canje, Berbice died at the George-town Public Hospital as a result of injuries he sustained in a late night attack two Saturdays ago.

Omesh’s father Jagpaul Seelall told Stabroek News that the doctor had informed him that there was a small chance that his son would survive the injuries he sustained to his brain.

According to Seelall the machine was keeping his son alive.
