Kevin Kamal Hassen Chinnarassen, 33, is actively wanted on a charge of patricide. He brutally attacked his father, Lutcheemonay Chinarassen, 55, with a piece of pipe on the night of Monday, May 2, to Tuesday, May 3. Police officers from the Stanley Police Station went to his home at Emmanuel Cotte Street, Plaisance, Rose-Hill, following a request. The victim was bleeding profusely and had injuries to his head and face. He died around 11:00 am on Tuesday morning, May 3, and his death was attributed to a skull fracture. A matter of money would be at the origin of this family drama.
It was the victim’s tenant who called the police around 4:10 a.m. on Tuesday, May 3, after hearing a fight at the Chinnarassen home. When the police arrived, the door was locked but they could still hear someone crying from inside. They forced their way in and found Lutcheemonay Chinnarassen with multiple injuries to his face and head.
An ambulance was called to take him to the Victoria Hospital in Candos. He was admitted to the ward after first aid but his condition was considered critical. Thus, he could not give his statement. Lutcheemonay Chinnarassen succumbed to his injuries at 11:00 am on Tuesday, April 3.
The victim is separated from his wife, who left for abroad and he lived alone with his son. The latter, who is a drug addict, is registered at the Stanley police station as a notorious recidivist. The tragedy was caused by a money dispute. The son was demanding money from his father, in particular the money from the rental of the house. When his father refused to give him the money, he attacked him violently. The fight started outside and ended inside on a bloody note where he hit his father several times in the head with a pipe.
His body was autopsied at the Candos Hospital morgue by Dr. Sheila Jankee-Parsad, Principal Police Medical Officer, who attributed his death to a skull fracture. The Criminal Investigation Division (CID) of the Western Division, led by Superintendent of Police, Shyam Bansoodeb, was assigned to the case.
These officers interviewed several witnesses in the neighborhood. Forensic technicians were at the victim’s home to collect evidence and the piece of pipe used as the murder weapon was seized.
