Stewartville woman seeks answers after finding son dead at home

Tyrell Pershad

Although she found her 19-year-old son hanging in her house, a woman is not convinced that he killed himself and she wants answers from the police.

Shirlene Pershad, of Stewartville, West Coast Demerara, told Stabroek News that when she returned home on Monday, she found her son, Tyrell Pershad, hanging in her bedroom.

“When I came home from work the day and I walk in the house and I saw him there hanging and I run outside and I get he father and the neighbours and they went for the police,” the upset woman told Stabroek News.  However, upon summoning the police, Pershad explained that the story took a confusing turn when she was told that police had earlier escorted her son to the house.
