…says was hired to do hit-job in revenge plot
Nicholas Jaipaul, burnt remains were on Thursday morning discovered in Moleson Creek after his alleged killer led ranks from the Police’s Major Crime Unit to the site where he murdered the young Canadian.
Jaipaul, who was on vacation in Guyana since January might have been lured out of his Lot 42 Section A, #69 Village home by his killer; a man said to be the son of one of the maids that was working with Jaipaul and his grandfather. According to Jaipaul’s grandfather, Adit Narine the alleged killer had been forcing his way to be friends with the young man ever since he arrived in Guyana.
“Many days he would go by the house and chat with Nicholas, but Nicholas is a relatively calm and kind hearted guy so pushing someone away who want to be friends with him is something he would not have done. Up to Sunday, the day which he went missing, the guy was at the house with Nicholas,” Narine related.
The suspect indicated to the police that he was hired by someone to kill Nicholas and burn his body at the said area. However, according to information reaching Village Voice the man who allegedly hired the suspect to kill Jaipaul is currently in a court matter with the young man’s grandfather over a previous incident. The mastermind reportedly paid the suspect to end Jaipaul’s life as part of a revenge from an issue over rice lands which his grandfather owns and had been renting to persons. The family remains devastated as their only hope now is for justice to be served.
Nicholas had been suffering from a rare sickness since birth, however due to a surgery he underwent as a toddler he was placed on medications which developed a number of side effects; the major one being a seizure. The act may have been committed sometime between Sunday and Monday night, after which the suspect fled the Corentyne area. His mother who was one of the maids along with another sibling was taken into custody. The suspect had fled the scene and was apprehended in Diamond, East Bank Demerara. Thursday morning police were able to arrest a number of other persons suspected to be part of the plot to kill the young man.
