ONE of the three persons murdered at their Anna Catherina home last Saturday night will be buried today, at the Cummings Lodge Cemetery, opposite the University of Guyana Campus, East Coast Demerara. 
The body of 6-year-old Afridi Bacchus, is scheduled to leave the Ezekiel Funeral Home, West Coast Demerara at 10:00 hrs today, after which it will be taken to his father’s home at Cummings Lodge, before being interred at the community burial ground.
Meanwhile, the murdered businesswoman, Jennifer Persaud and her 17-month-old toddler will likely be cremated at the Ruimzeight Crematorium, West Coast Demerara, on Saturday. A final decision is pending the outcome of an autopsy on the infant later this week.
Post mortem examinations were performed yesterday on the 41-year-old woman and her six-year-old son at the West Demerara Regional Hospital. The mother’s cause of death was attributed to a ‘stab wound’, relatives said. However, her daughters could not say what Afridi’s cause of death was, since, following the autopsy, his body was immediately taken away by his father and relatives who live at Cummings Lodge, East Coast Demerara.
There was a glitch however, surrounding the autopsy to be performed on 17-month-old Jadon Earnest, resulting in his post mortem operation being delayed. As a result, his body is still at the West Demerara Regional Hospital awaiting the autopsy.
His sister Amanda Ahamad told this newspaper that there appeared to be an inaccuracy in the way his name was recorded on his clinic card, resulting in his surname and christian names exchanging places. She said it was on checking for his birth certificate that they realized that it was missing from where important family documents are kept.
The family is hoping that these irregularities would be sorted out before the end of the week, so that his autopsy could be expedited, making it possible for him to be cremated along with his mother on Saturday.
