KENROY Crandon, 22, yesterday afternoon followed in his father’s footsteps, committing suicide by hanging himself.His father hanged himself a year ago, and also over a love affair gone sour.
The Guyana Chronicle was informed that the man slit the throat of his girlfriend, Sherian Tiwarie, 23, before hanging himself in the upper flat of his aunt’s 27 West Ruimveldt home.
This newspaper was informed that the aunt of the young man did not approve of the relationship, as she realised that her nephew was abusing the young lady.
She recalled that Tiwarie promised her that she was getting married to Kenroy in August and that she was awaiting the arrival of her father from overseas.
However, August came and up to now there was no wedding.
Donna asked the young lady to leave, which she reluctantly did. She said that Kenroy asked her to allow his girlfriend to move back into the house, but Donna did not allow this.
Questioned about yesterday’s incident, the woman said that she was home with another cousin when she heard a noise in the upper flat where her nephew lived. She said that the door was locked so she and her cousin were forced to break it open.
She said that as her cousin ventured upstairs he went into one of the rooms which is not occupied, and saw her nephew hanging from a beam.
And in another bedroom, she saw his girlfriend lying on a bed with her throat slashed.
Donna said that she had no idea that the young lady was in the house.
It was revealed that two months ago the now dead Tiwarie had lost a baby which she was getting for the 22 year old.
She however, one month later, declared that she was again pregnant. But according to Donna, neither she nor Kenroy was buying the story, and he was insisting on a medical report to prove that he was the unborn child’s father. In recalling the several warnings to the young lady, Donna told reporters that she questioned the young lady about why she would want to stay in an abusive relationship, and cautioned her that if she continued, one day her face and name might end up in the newspapers.
It is not clear if the abuse the girl suffered while staying at Donna’s home was ever reported to the police outpost which is just a stone’s throw away.
