Sascha Wil­son

A men­tal­ly chal­lenged South Oropouche man was found dead with stab wounds to the neck in his dasheen patch yes­ter­day morn­ing.

The body of 51-year-old Ty­rone Ne­ho­rah was dis­cov­ered by his neigh­bour around 8.30 am, a few feet away from his (Ne­ho­rah) home at Berridge Trace, Har­ris Vil­lage.

Ne­ho­rah’s sis­ter Sharon Payne, who lives near­by, said she last saw her broth­er on Sat­ur­day. She said he picked his dasheen bush, which he sells, then changed his clothes and went out the road lat­er that night.

Payne said when her broth­er was 18 years old he was di­ag­nosed with schiz­o­phre­nia and was an out­pa­tient at a psy­chi­atric clin­ic. How­ev­er, she said he fell in­to bad com­pa­ny and was ad­dict­ed to drugs.

While he was not a vi­o­lent per­son, she said he was ver­bal­ly abu­sive and had dis­agree­ments with sev­er­al peo­ple.

“He used to bawl and cuss. He used to fall out with neigh­bours and thing. He grew up here. They would not do him any­thing but they would call and tell me about it, and to talk to him,” Payne said.

How­ev­er, she said who­ev­er killed her broth­er did not take his mon­ey. She be­lieves he was at­tacked at his home and he ran out with his sheet and col­lapsed in the dasheen patch. The blood-soaked sheet was par­tial­ly cov­er­ing his body.

Payne, how­ev­er, was not con­fi­dent that they would get jus­tice.

“Nah we will not get jus­tice for this. Poor peo­ple don’t get jus­tice. If it was a ‘big man’ son, they would do some­thing to get the killer. But when you poor and have noth­ing, noth­ing will come out of that,” she lament­ed.
