When we talk about children being the most unprotected group in Guyana, we can add the name Sanesha Lall. The 16-year-old was stabbed to death this week by a 34-year-old abusive man.
But this is not an isolated incident. Teenaged girls have been murdered before in this country by adult predators and because society continues to fail our children, names like Sanesha’s have been added to the list.
For two years this man was allowed to prey on this child. No, I will not refer to a 34-year-old man as the ex-boyfriend or ex-lover of a dead 16-year old. I will not write about this incident like it was two adults involved in a consensual relationship. He is a paedophile and a murderer.
