The Corentyne man who is the owner of the three pit bulls that attacked and killed Latchminen Permaul at Hampshire Village, Corentyne during the wee hours of Tuesday last week was yesterday placed on $250,000 bail after he was charged with manslaughter.
Ravindra Jaikissoon also known as ‘Avinash’, 29, of Ankerville, Port Mourant, yesterday appeared at the New Amsterdam Magistrate’s Court before Magistrate Peter Hugh where he was charged with manslaughter.
Jaikissoon’s three pit bulls attacked and killed Permaul at Hampshire Village, Corentyne during Tuesday last week at R&S Street at Hampshire, Corentyne.
Permaul also known as ‘Blackboy’, 64, unemployed, of Lot 249 Hampshire, Corentyne Berbice, fell asleep on the corner of the road where he was eventually attacked by the three dogs.
Jaikissoon was placed on $250,000 bail and is expected to return to court on February, 21.
Permaul’s wife, Sandra Permaul, 61, a housewife, reported that her husband left home around 5 pm on Monday and went to a liquor shop in Toopoo Village, Corentyne, where he was imbibing alcohol and became intoxicated.
While returning home in the late hours of the evening, the man reportedly stopped on the corner of the street and fell asleep.
According to the woman, around 5 am on Tuesday, she received information from her son Yoganand Permaul that her husband had been killed by the three dogs.
The son reported that he was walking up the street when he heard a commotion where he noticed that three pit bull dogs had breached the fence of the yard and were biting Permaul who at that time had appeared to be motionless.
The police were immediately summoned to the scene where they examined Permaul’s body and noticed what appeared to be dog bites on both of his legs and his neck. Dog bites were also seen on his right hip and right hand.
