Kavita Akloo and Ramesh Beharry

RESULTS are inconclusive following the post-mortem examinations conducted on the bodies of 19-year-old Kavita Ackloo and 18-year-old Ramesh Beharry, who were discovered on the Kingston seawall in the vicinity of Pegasus Hotel. The post-mortem examinations were performed yesterday by a government pathologist in Georgetown.
Ackloo, 19, of South Cummings Lodge and Beharry, 18, of Good Hope, East Coast Demerara, were found dead on Monday at the Kingston seawall in what detectives initially suspected to be a case of suicide.
From all indications, the two prior to their deaths had recently struck up a relationship that did not find favour with their parents.
This publication was told that the young lady who lived with her mother in Wakenaam had moved to live with her father and was employed at Sharon’s Mall on King and Charlotte Streets. The young man on the other hand was living with his parents and worked as a joiner at an establishment on the East Coast
According to reports, Ackloo was already seeing another man when she met Beharry. Her father was not willing to accommodate the second young man since he was aware that his daughter was already involved with someone else.
Beharry on the other hand was said to be very quiet and easy going and did not appear as if anything was bothering him. His mother said that she did not have the slightest idea that her son was considering suicide.
On Tuesday evening, the father of the young lady identified her after visiting the police and relating that he saw several news reports of two teenagers who were found dead on the seawall.
He also reported that his daughter did not come home on Monday evening and that calls to her mobile were not being answered. The police then accompanied the man to the morgue where he positively identified the girl as his daughter.
The mother of the young man hours later showed up at the police station and reported that she was suspicious that the person who was found on the seawall might be her son. She said that he does sleep out on occasions but in this case he was not answering his mobile phone, and that is unusual.
She too was accompanied to morgue and confirmed that the body was that of her son.
The pathologist after conducting the autopsies, and found that the results were inconclusive, took samples from both bodies to have further tests carried out to determine the real cause of death.
The police have been sending samples to Brazil for testing after results for samples sent to the Trinidad and Jamaica authorities have taken years to be returned.
