The Guyana Defence Force (GDF) has offered a compensation package to the widow of Ryan Khayum, the Pomeroon River farmer, who died in a boat accident involving a GDF coastguard vessel to cover her losses following the crash, a relative told Stabroek News.
Ramroop Mahase, an in-law of Khayum, told Stabroek News that the army offered a $3.4 million package to the family but they are currently seeking legal advice since they believe a better deal should have been offered since a life has been lost.
Members of the GDF met with the family on Tuesday and informed the wife, Chandanie Khayum of the offer.
