A post-mortem examination performed on the remains of taxi driver, Sherland Dalloo, 33, of 55 Parika, East Bank Essequibo proved that he died as a result of a fractured skull.
Sources told Stabroek News that there were holes in Dalloo’s head, appearing to be chops while the left side of his skull was “shattered,” leaving a gaping hole.
His badly decomposed body was discovered at Onverwagt Backdam, West Coast Berbice around 6.30 am on Sunday. His silver grey Toyota 212 Carina, HB 8729 has still not been found.
Reports are that some youth who were “catching iguana” saw the body floating face down in a trench, one and a half miles away from the public road, and raised an alarm.
Dalloo’s ex-wife, Alicia with whom he shared a close relationship and his older brother, Raymond, were among close relatives who travelled to Berbice to identify his body at the Anthony’s Funeral Home of Fort Wellington.
Alicia recognized him from the pants he was clad in. His mother, Bhanmatty Dalloo, 55, told Stabroek News that her son, who was engaged in “special hire” services left home around 7.30 am on Monday.
She called him around 12.30 pm and asked him to go home for his lunch and he told her that he was in Georgetown. At 2.30 when she contacted him again he told her the same thing.
When she tried his number again at 5.30 pm though, there was no answer. Unable to sleep that night, she kept calling his number “the whole night.”
The following day around 10 am she visited the Parika Police Station and reported him missing.
