January 26 will mark the fifth Anniversary of the Lusignan massacre. Eleven persons, including five children, were shot dead even as they slept in their East Coast Demerara homes.In remembering the day when Guyana was plunged into a state of darkness, the Alliance for Change (AFC) is calling for thorough investigations into all mass crimes.Moses Nagamootoo, of the Alliance for Change (AFC), during a press conference on Wednesday last at the Side Walk Caf?, said that apart from early reports of a “vengeance killing” by the notorious “Fine Man”, no one has ever given a definitive account…and, with the death of the alleged killer, these killings would go down as “cold cases.”The Lusignan massacre remains the most shocking mass killing in Guyana,Cheap MLB Jerseys Authentic, after the Jonestown incident.Those who lost their lives were Clarence Thomas,Cheap Jerseys For Sale, 48; Vanessa Thomas,Adam Shaheen Jersey, 12; Ron Thomas, 11; Mohandai Goordat, 32; Seegopaul Harilall, 10; Seegobin Harilall, 4; Dhanwajie Ramsingh, 52; Seecharran Rooplall,cheap nfl jerseys online, 56; Raywattie Ramsingh,Authentic Jerseys China, 11; Shazam Mohammed, 22; and Shaleem Baksh, 52.Several wounded others have survived to re-live the horror.“These 11 persons were murdered in cold blood whilst they slept in the peace and quiet of their humble dwelling by criminals carrying AK-47 assault rifles. They would be explained away as the work of criminal and narco-gangsters, just as the Bartica and the Lindo Creek massacres,” Nagamootoo said.He noted that those who died were caring mothers, father, sisters and brothers – “Few were infants and students. The elders were champions in their own right in the little things they did to preserve and protect their families. But they were the poor and the underprivileged.”“The five children were not allowed to dream or to graduate, to love and live in their own country where criminals and drug-lords settled scores through the muzzle of guns, some of whom were recruited by a frightened state to come to its defence,Wholesale NFL Jerseys,” Nagamootoo said.He added that like all multiple killings (extra-judicial and otherwise), the Lusignan massacre represents “a failure by our State to protect our people.”“The AFC shares the grief and loss of relatives and survivors, and commits itself to ensure that all Guyanese are afforded adequate protection and security, and that Guyana up-root the narco-and-money-laundering gangs and their handlers, who incubate criminals to menace our society.”
