Dead: Abdul Sattaur Kadir
Dead: Abdul Sattaur Kadir

IT has been five months since a 53-year-old watchman was hacked to death and his relatives are calling on the Commissioner of Police to speed up investigations into the incident.Abdul Sattaur Kadir, of 380 Ninth Street, Foulis, East Coast Demerara (ECD), was chopped to death on April 27, 2016 when he was confronted by two men who had entered his workplace at Best Buy Hardware Store at Bladen Hall, ECD.
The father of three died while receiving treatment at the Georgetown Public Hospital. Police said the security guard was alone on duty when he challenged two men who had entered the large compound from the back. During this time, he was attacked by the men who dealt him several chops about his body with cutlasses and escaped.
According to his wife, Maureen Kadir, the police have not been in contact with the family since the murder occurred.
“The story just died just like that, and every day that goes by it hurts us that he was just killed while doing his job,” she explained.
Police had obtained images that were captured on surveillance cameras mounted at the back of the hardware store on the night Kadir was killed. However, a police source noted that the images obtained are not of good quality and cannot be enhanced to provide detectives with a chance to positively identify the men.
The source said that Kadir’s killers appear to know the compound, since they switched off the lights in order to make it difficult for the surveillance cameras to pick them up clearly. Investigators had disclosed that after chopping the watchman, the killers made no attempt to break into the hardware store, nor did they take anything from the compound.
