Angry father-in-law confesses to killing fisherman–police

LESS than 24 hours after being detained and grilled intensively by police detectives in ‘C’ Division, a man reportedly provided the police with a confession and later a caution statement confirming that he struck his son-in-law to the head with a wood causing his death on Sunday night in Mahaicony.On Sunday, Muneshwar Bisnauth’s body was found in the yard of his mother- and father-in-law. They, along with their daughter, who is Bisnauth’s reputed wife, told the relatives of Bisnauth that he fell and hit his head in the yard while being under the influence – an explanation the family took with a grain of salt.

Kamal Samaroo, the father-in-law of the dead man, told detectives during interrogation that they were imbibing on Sunday night and he and the man had an argument. He allegedly told the police that Bisnauth cuffed him and he in return picked up a piece of wood and hit the man to the head.
On Monday he accompanied the police back to the crime scene where he purportedly pointed out to them the wood he used to deal his son-in-law the fatal blow.

Meanwhile, relatives of the now dead man are contending that Bisnauth never enjoyed the blessings of his reputed wife’s family as they were upset that the young lady left her parents’ home to go and live with Bisnauth at his parents’ home.
Since then, the families have been divided, with Bisnauth not being invited to family functions of his wife and whenever she insisted that he accompany her, it would usually cause a cross-talking between him and them.
Bisnauth’s mother told the Guyana Chronicle that she was at home when her daughter-in-law came to call them. She reportedly told them that she was preparing to walk an intoxicated Bisnauth home when he fell and hit his head and that he was not responding.

However, the dead man’s mother claimed that when she arrived at the scene, she was verbally abused by Bisnauth’s mother-in-law.

The father of Bisnauth said that he was aware from the inception that the parents of his son’s wife never liked him and that he was convinced that Bisnauth was indeed murdered on Sunday but was only awaiting the police to do their work.

The family is now calling for justice and for the parents of the dead man’s wife as well as the dead man’s wife to be charged.
The man has left behind a baby girl. The police investigations are ongoing in the matter even as the dead man’s reputed wife and her parents remain in custody at separate police stations in ‘C’ Division.
