-as father of five hangs self

A FORTY-NINE-YEAR-OLD contractor, Chandardeo Persaud of School Street, Affiance Village on the Essequibo Coast, ended his life around 05:00hrs on Tuesday morning.

According to reports, the father of five children who worked as a contractor with the Regional Administration at Anna Regina, was found by one of his sons hanging lifelessly by his neck from a wire in the bottom flat of their house. Reports state that the contractor, who was experiencing domestic problems with his wife, was scheduled to appear in the Anna Regina Magistrate court on Tuesday.
Reports said Persaud probably became fed up with life amid domestic problems, the court matter and financial bankruptcy. Persaud had reportedly owed money to a number of persons and businesses.
Only last week another young man of Devonshire Castle Back Street committed suicide by ingesting a poisonous substance used for spraying and killing grass.
