Livestock farmer Jean Bacchus, who the Mayor and City Council (M&CC) said has been rearing and slaughtering pigs inside of Le Repentir Cemetery, has been served with an eviction notice, although she maintains she has done nothing wrong.
“We are not rearing pigs in the cemetery… The burial ground is far from here. We are behind the dump. Nobody was ever buried here,” Bacchus told Stabroek News.
Town Clerk Royston King on Tuesday told this newspaper that the M&CC has given Bacchus two weeks’ notice to remove the pigs from the area. King explained that if the owner failed to comply, the M&CC would be forced to remove the pigs.
