POPULAR street dancer, Allan Gobin called ‘Antics’ of New Street, East Canje, was found dead at an abandoned house with marks of violence about his body.

The discovery was made by his uncle Davis Ramdyal, who went in search of his nephew, after he was not seen since Wednesday.
Ramdyal recalled ‘searching everywhere including places where his 47-year- old nephew would go to consume alcohol.
The grieved relative recounted that as he walked along Moore Street, also in Canje, earlier, he passed by the abandoned home of his overseas based sister and noticed that the front door was opened, but he paid no heed.
It was after he had searched other locations that he returned to the deceased mother’s house and called out for his nephew.
“I stood in the yard and called his name, but I got no answer. I then decided to go upstairs. It was then I saw him lying on a bed. I called at him again, but there was no response. When I shook him, he was stiff.’
Initially, it was believed that the street dancer had suffered a heart attack. But the discovery of blood on the bed, led investigators to examine the body, which revealed there were injuries to the head and feet.
Meanwhile, Lalita Indranarine, a cousin of the deceased said Gobin lived at her home.
‘He was a habitual drinker and would go on drinking sprees which will extend to two to three days, After he left home on Wednesday at about 14:00 hrs and did not return I asked my uncle to go and look for him.
According to her, it was not strange for Gobin to sleep at his mother’s abandoned house since she migrated overseas.
‘It is something he would always do… he does sleep there… maybe he miss his mother…..,’ the sister said.
Police investigations are continuing.
