According to reports, Chetram was allegedly involved in an argument at a wedding and was found dead some two streets away, at Lusignan Grass Field, the next morning, last week Sunday, with his throat slashed.
The police believe that Chetram was killed between 21:00 hrs last week Saturday and 02:30 hrs on Sunday. Enquiries revealed that he had left home at about 16:00 hrs on the Saturday to attend a wedding at Lusignan Grass Field.
The police said they responded to a 911 call and found the body of a man on the Lusignan access road about two streets from the wedding, in a pool of blood. A wound about three inches long was seen on the throat.
Chandrapaul Chetram, brother of Choorandan Chetram, told Stabroek News that he received a call at 2 am that day informing him about his brother’s death. He explained that when he got to the scene, his brother was lying motionless on the road. One of his pockets was ripped out, his shoes were removed and his throat slit. The grieving brother had spoken fearfully of masked gangs robbing residents of the area.
