Discovered by passers-by close to Jiffi Lubes ShadeBy Neil Marks and Michel Outridge THE severed head of City businessman, Farouk Kalamadeen, was found in a canal a block away from his Light Street and North Road business place early yesterday morning.The gruesome discovery was made three days after his headless cadaver was found dumped at another location north of the City.One relative who spoke with the Guyana Chronicle said the family is “certain” that the head is Kalamadeen’s and that now that it could be finally “reunited with the body,” they are in a better frame of mind to continue with arrangements to bury him today. The funeral service will be held at the Muslim Youth Organisation (MYO) on Woolford Avenue.The Police recovered the head after being alerted by passers-by who saw it lying in a muddy canal at Albert Street and North Road here in the capital, just a street away from Jiffy Lubes, the motor services outlet that Kalamadeen owned and operated.The missing head was examined by Pathologist Dr Nehaul Singh who, according to the Police, concluded that Kalamadeen had suffered blunt trauma to the back of the head and injuries to the mouth.As news of the discovery spread, a large crowd gathered at the site where the head was found just opposite the popular Bakewell bakery. The discovery was made sometime around 08:30h.Neighbours shuddered on recounting the story, saying the head was “black” when it was fished out of the trench.Kalamadeen’s headless body was found early Wednesday morning, almost a month after he disappeared, in the Kingston area on a parapet at Cowan Street.Relatives were prepared to go ahead with the funeral Friday without the head, but this was stalled because the Police needed to verify that the cadaver was his from its fingerprints.Since Kalamadeen had not yet been registered in the current registration exercise, there were no fingerprints of his available at the Guyana Elections Commission to make that comparison. Relatives however said the Police were able to “lift” fingerprints from equipment Kalamadeen used when he would go in the interior. Those fingerprints matched those of the headless cadaver, thus providing further conclusive evidence in the identity of the body.Kalamadeen disappeared without a trace after leaving his Barrington Apartments home in Houston just outside the City on the lower East Bank on April 2, for his daily jog.He was presumed abducted, but according to the family, there were no ransom demands. The Police are still continuing with their investigations.
