3 confess to killing Port Mourant mechanic in 2023 – INews Guyana

After more than two year of relentless investigative work, police in Region Six (East Berbice-Corentyne) have arrested and secured confessions from three men in connection with the brutal killing of Kamaludein Abrahim, a 73-year-old mechanic from Port Mourant, known in the community as “The Brown Clothes Man.” 

The breakthrough follows an intelligence-led investigation into the disappearance and subsequent discovery of Abrahim’s body in July 2023. 

Abrahim, who resided at Free Yard, Port Mourant, was reported missing on July 1, 2023, by his son, Shazad Abrahim, after family members were unable to contact him and found his home unusually empty. 

Two days later, his decomposed body was discovered by a fisherman in a clump of bushes along the Rose Hall Town foreshore. 

The remains were later identified to be those of the missing man by his son. However, an autopsy could not confirm the cause of death due to the advanced state of decomposition. 

Despite initial arrests following the discovery, no charges were laid at the time due to a lack of evidence. One of the eventual confessed killers was among those initially questioned and released. 

However, renewed effort and perseverance by detectives have led to a breakthrough. 

Those in custody are 45-year-old Darwin Trim, Premchand Ramsohai, and 29-year-old Rajendra Balkaran. 

All three suspects reportedly confessed to the murder during police interrogation, providing detailed accounts of their actions on the night of June 30, 2023. 

According to their confessions, the men, who were all acquainted with Abrahim, visited his home and saw a sum of money on his table. 

After requesting some and being denied, they became enraged and assaulted him until he lost consciousness. 

They then stole approximately $45,000 before transporting his unconscious body to the Rose Hall foreshore, where they continued beating him until he died. 

The crime occurred on a rainy night, which the suspects believed helped conceal their movements. 

The three are expected to be arraigned during the week for the capital offense of murder.
