Grieving parents seek closure over killing of only son

“I just need answers, I need closure. My son is dead, and we don’t know what happened,” 72-year-old Martha Persaud said. “I have climbed so many stairs and dropped off so many letters but still no answers.”

Persaud’s only son Nezaam Khan was found lying face down in a pool of blood in the driveway of the Republic Bank Diamond branch. He was 46 years old and since that night of November 30, 2018 when a police officer picked him up and took him to the hospital in an unconscious state there have been no answers for Persaud and her 76-year-old husband Nazeem Khan.

“I don’t know what to do but I need answers. We are grieving and we need answers,” she told me when she contacted me by telephone.

“I usually read you. [I was reading] long before my son died, and I just got your number to call because I don’t know what else to do. You will decide what you will do,” she said.
