Dead: Chavez Kellman

Joan Hunte, grandmother of the deceased, who lived at Lot 158 Curtis Street, Albouystown, was adamant that his death was not an accident.

She spoke while his mother, Nichola Hunte was at Ruimveldt Police Station, also in Georgetown.

The older woman said, apart from a cut on the front of his head, there were no marks, such as bruises, about his body to suggest that he was involved in an accident.

She, like other relatives, insisted that someone dealt him a fatal blow and he may have bled internally.

The others said Kellman had been with friends until about 22:00 h when he left them and was returning to his home after taking a child to her parent’s home.

It was around midnight news of the tragedy was received by the family and yesterday the septuagenarian lamented the loss of her grandson whom she loved dearly and described as a wonderful young man who will be sadly missed in the home.

The second of four siblings, Kellman is also survived by his father, Samuel Kellman.

Police continuing investigations into the circumstances of Kellman’s demise is awaiting the findings of a post mortem scheduled for tomorrow.
