The wife of Wazim Ray Ramjattan, who died of COVID-19 and was mistakenly buried by the family of another fatality of the virus, is upset after the body was purportedly identified by a relative.
According to the man’s sister, the body was exhumed at approximately 10:00 hrs yesterday and that a relative ‘positively’ identified the body to be Ramjattan. But Devika Sukhu, who is Ramjattan’s wife, is not accepting the relative’s word and says a photo should have been taken. She also says that the relative was wrong to identify the body without her permission.
Sukhu explained to Stabroek News that she was supposed to identify the man’s body but her brother-in-law approached her and took the document before identifying the body. Sukhu said that she is upset and uncertain of whose body was identified to be her husband.
