The sister of Mohamed Shameer, the Pomeroon River boat collision victim whose decomposing remains were found buried in a shallow grave more than 60 miles from the scene, is continuing to question the delay in the filing of charges by police against two suspects.
Speaking with Stabroek News recently, a distraught Khirool Noorajhan once again expressed her dissatisfaction with the pace of the investigation. “I cannot understand what is taking so long. It has been two months and I want to know if we gon get justice,” the woman said. She related that her 83-year-old mother is particularly hard-hit by the tragedy and had to seek medical attention on several occasions.
The boat collision occurred on the night of April 25 at Jacklow, Pomeroon. Shameer, a polio victim who farmed to sustain himself, left his Jacklow, Pomeroon home where he lived alone, in a paddle boat at around 7.30pm that day to visit a friend. It would appear that he was on his way back home when he was run over by a boat.
