Delon Sancho Beaten to Death

In search of a better life -West Berbice miner beaten to death

A 24-year-old West Berbice man who left for the interior over two years ago in search of a better life for his mother was not able to fulfill his dream after he was beaten to death on Saturday night.

Reports are that Delon Sancho, a pork-knocker, was beaten to death by three persons and his body was flown to the city the same night. The man’s distraught mother, Claire Collins, 42, of Plantation Ross said when she received the news about his death around 6 am on Sunday morning she fainted.

The woman said a relative called to give her the news and her sister who answered the phone did not know how to tell her. “After she got the call I keep asking she what happened to Delon and when she tell me he dead I get blackout [fainted].”

The dead man’s distraught mother, Claire CollinsShe said she travelled to Georgetown on Monday to identify the body and she noticed that he had bruises on his two hands, his face was swollen and his eyes and ears had blood stains. When she returned yesterday to witness the post-mortem she observed a big gash behind his head as though he was hit with a heavy object.

He was clad in a pair of brown shorts and his body was covered in clay, suggesting that he was working “in the pit” at the time of his demise. She described Delon as always mannerly and said he did not deserve such a death.

Collins said her son sent money often to support her and his three siblings and that he was the sole breadwinner of the family. She recalled sadly that the last time she saw her son was in October 2006 when he returned for her mother’s funeral.

She yearned to see him and occasionally when he called he kept promising to visit her but this was not to be. Before leaving for the interior, Delon worked as a labourer with rice farmers until a friend took him away to work in Georgetown.

Shortly after, the friend offered him an opportunity to work in the interior and he gladly accepted.

The woman who was involved in “buying and selling” said she is unable to continue that business and now she does not know how she would survive.

She is also worried about how she would be able to care for her 20-year-old son who was diagnosed with a heart condition, her 17-year-old daughter and a five-year-old son. (Shabna Ullah)

Woman accused of ganja in egg trays remanded

Posted By Stabroek News On May 19, 2008

A 36-year-old Turkeyen woman who was allegedly caught at the Ogle airport with cannabis concealed in a stack of egg trays was on Friday remanded to prison by Magistrate Hazel Octive-Hamilton.
Michelle Sancho, a shopkeeper of Lot 478 Third Street, Turkeyen denied a charge of possession of narcotics for the purpose of trafficking, when it was read in the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court.
It is alleged that on May 13, Sancho had in her possession 280 grammes of cannabis for the purpose of trafficking.

Reports are that on the day in question ranks from the police narcotics branch acting on information received went to the Ogle airport.

When Sancho arrived, the ranks identified themselves and asked to search the goods she was taking to Ekereku in the Cuyuni/Mazaruni area.

During the search according to reports, a stack of five egg trays was searched. When ranks removed all the eggs on the top tray they discovered two holes with two black bags stuffed inside.
A search of the trays unearthed a quantity of cannabis leaves, seeds and stems.

She was told of the offence and arrested.

Sancho was represented by attorney-at-law Vic Puran.

The matter will continue at the Sparendaam Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday.

Extraordinary Prejudice

Religious Discrimination Against Sancho in Jamaica in 1922?

Extraordinary Prejudice
The protest by some individual in Barbados against the flying of the Union Jack at half-mast in Barbados, on the death of the Pope is Extraordinary but the following instance of Prejudice against the Catholic Church is the limit. “The Catholic Standard” states that it heard with no little surprise a few days ago that Miss A. K. Elliott, daughter of the Catholic Head Teacher of our Bachelor’s Adventure School who left for Jamaica to enter the Shortwood Teachers Training Institution, was refused admission on account of her religion – Miss Elliott is a Catholic. The statement savoured a of a canard, but is was proved true that she had been refused admission, and that Mr. Sconce, our commissioner of education, had been asked by cable, if he had any objections to her being sent to St. Joseph’s College, a Training Institution conducted by the Catholic sisters of St. Francis. No doubt every unprejudiced mind will regard such conduct as scandalous, Shortwood, “The Standard”, rightly says is a government institution, supported by the taxpayers of the island, amongst whom are Catholics. The students sent from this colony are maintained there at the expense of the taxpayers of British Guiana, in general – Protestants and Catholics. Both Jamaica and British Guiana are British Colonies. Why, then, should a British subject be ostracized solely on account of religion in a British colony from a British institution supported by Catholics as well as by protestants? I have no desire to initiate a religious controversy but this incident speaks volumes, and the world owes several of it greatest blessings to Catholic minds.

SANCHO THE OBEAHMAN

SANCHO THE OBEAHMAN

I had some unpleasant travelling in an uncovered corial one week in the rainy season. My assistants were three small Indian boys. The journey was three tides each way, which took us three nights of six hours and three days each of the same time of six hours. The burning sun alternated with frequent showers in the daytime, and we had heavy showers during the night. To add to our inconvenience, two of the boys made themselves sick by scouring the bush in the neighbourhood of Hittia, and eating freely of the wild fruits they found there, and then surfeiting themselves on sour milk at the settlement of an hospitable family. We could get no one to hire on the way; and so, cutting palm leaves and covering our invalids from the sun and rain, we wearily paddled onwards. The adverse tide met us and added to our difficulties. But as a rule disagreeable things, like other things, come to an end, and we reached Saints' Lust at last.
Our kind friend Mrs. Hartmann physicked the sick boys, and sent over to Zion and Prosperity, or "Sodom and Gomorrah," as people persist in calling the place, to engage a hand if possible. The messenger soon returned to say- that one "Sancho "would go with us for a certain consideration. This was good news. I sent over immediately to say that we would call for him at the turning of the tide; and with my mind, so far, at ease, I went in to rest and to partake of the hospitality of the Hartmanns.
When I called for Mr. Sancho (he insisted on the title), I found him, with the exception of a Lapp or loin cloth (substitute for the fig-leaves), quite naked. His skin, which should have been black, was generally of a dirty brown hue, as if suffering from skin disease: but he appeared to possess some pretension to dandyism, as his hair was oiled and carefully platted. I suspect his clothes, if he had any, were delayed at the washing, and he was then settling a lingual account with his washerwoman. He was much excited, gesticulating with a cutlass in his hand, and vociferating in the Dutch Creole talk of the river. The
woman—the object of his wrath—did not seem to think her case unjustifiable, for she was equally loud and furious.
I called out to Mr. Sancho to say that the tide was going, and to request him to nurse his anger, and postpone the passé des langues until his return. He laughed and said "the woman was too bad;” then giving her some directions in a subdued voice; he got into the corial, much to my relief. I confess that I soon became very ungrateful for the help he was giving me, and began to resent his sitting between the wind and my—olfactory organ. Mr. Sancho had not been with us five minutes when he turned round and begged that I would give him a prayer- book. "What for?" I said. He wanted to learn the religion of the Church that he might join. "What religion had he been learning hitherto?" The religion of the chapel. "Why did he not continue?" His fellow-members were too bad, and told lies upon him. "Why not appeal to the catechist?" He was no better than the others, and didn't do him justice. "What was the lie?" That he, Sancho, was an obeah man. "Was he then an obeah man?" No! He was a good Christian, and helped people out of their troubles, as we are all commanded to do. I advised Mr. Sancho to return to his chapel and make the truth of his innocence apparent to all his brethren. An indifferent student of the religion of the chapel, I said, would probably make a bad churchman, and we were not particularly anxious to include him in our small number, even although, by his own statement, he possessed the odour of sanctity; but that at any rate, if the sanctity were questionable, the odour was undoubted.
But notwithstanding his denial of obeah practices, Sancho was a notorious practitioner in the art, and had a school of disciples. He was a terror to the people, who obliged him to the utmost of their power in his most insolent demands. Apart from the antagonism of Obeahism with Christianity, any one who knows the depth of its wickedness cannot refrain from detesting it, and hoping not only that the laws may be vigorously enforced, but that diligent search might be made to detect and bring these evil-doers—both the " doctor " and his patients—to condign punishment.
Once I met Sancho at an Indian settlement, and knowing his object there, I drove him off with a threat of arrest. The magistrate was asked to have him sent off the river. "Cuibono?" he replied. "When I was first appointed to the district, I instituted a crusade against obeah men, and cleared the river for a time; but it only made an opening for others, who with the prestige which accompanies a new doctor of any type, drove an increased business. No, no! Bring Sancho before me on a specific charge, and with proof of his guilt, and he shall be "catted," if you will; but be advised, and let obeah die out of itself." Of course I disagreed with him.
I knew an obeah man in another part of the country, who supported his family in comfort and luxury, and educated his children on the earnings he derived from his vile art. But his prosperity was exceptional.
Twelve months after my first acquaintance with Sancho, he could just crawl into his corial and paddle from settlement to settlement, compelling the Indian women to bring down to him cassava, fish, and firewood : at this time his feet up to his knees were bandaged, and the ulcerous flesh was dropping off. Six months more, and he persuaded a half- bred Arawak, who had taken lessons from him, to receive him into his own banal, and feed him, under the most terrible threats of evil. He shortly after died there, and the owner of the dwelling, fleeing from the dead, was persuaded to return with some others, and bury the remains of Sancho.
The truth of the adage that "a prophet has no honour in his own country" is exemplified in the mutual faith of Indians in Negro Obeah, and of Negroes in Indian Piai-ism. When the blacks and their descendants of all colours (who may be faithful to the traditions of Obeahism) seek— without obtaining—the expected aid, they resort to the Indian piaiman and so likewise the Indian, failing to get the required relief from the doctors of his tribe, applies to the black bush doctor.

Carlton Fitzherald Sancho:Demise Raises Labour Issues

Burn Victim's Demise Raises Labour Issues
Monday February 25 2008
by A. Aisha Caleb-Browne
The Antigua Trades & Labour Union (AT&LU) has made a forceful plea for workers to report all cases of occupational injury, lest they are denied their rights and privileges under the country's labour laws.
The appeal comes following the death of 30-year-old Carlton Fitzherald Sancho of Guyana, who succumbed to complications as a result of injuries he sustained after falling into an uncovered hot-mix tank on the property of his workplace, the Antigua Distillery Limited.
Sancho, a former police officer in his native Guyana, has reportedly been living in Antigua for the past three years with his sister Onika Dey.
The duo spoke to the Antigua Sun prior to Sancho's untimely death, at which time they expressed concern about the amount of publicity the case was receiving.
When prompted, it was revealed that not being a national of Antigua and Barbuda, Sancho was fearful that he would have been subjected to victimisation and loss of wages that would have come his way as a result of his incapacitation.
Further, Sancho told the SUN at the time that the ADL handled the payment and paperwork for his work permit, and as such, he did not want to upset management.
But General-Secretary (GS) of the AT&LU Stafford Joseph was adamant that an individual's nationality does not exempt him or her from receiving compensation once his/her legal status in the country has been deemed bona fide.
He said a number of cases have been reported to the union but were subsequently dropped.
Upon further inquiries by the union, it was found out that some of the employees were afraid, and said they decided not to pursue the matter because they were not "straight", or that their papers are still being processed.
"Nationality has nothing to do with it. The law makes it clear that if an employee or workman suffers personal injury by accident out of and during the course of such employment, his employer shall be liable to pay compensation in accordance with the provisions of this Act," Joseph said.
Joseph further explained that this compensation is separate and apart from regular wages or salaries. "If an employee gets injured on the job through occupational injury, Social Security does not pay for it.
"The form that you get from the doctor would indicate whether or not it is an actual occupational injury… once it is ascertained, that responsibility is for the employer to now take care of."
According to Joseph, the employer would also be responsible for compensating the employee up to 25 per cent of one's basic earnings.
Additionally, any medical bills arising during the time of the employee's recuperation should legally be the responsibility of the employer.
At the end of the "sick leave" period, the worker is then required to undergo a complete physical assessment in order for the doctor to make a determination of incapacity if any.
This determination will then ascertain the temporary nature or permanency of the injury. "So if there is any loss of use of functionality of any member of limb of the body, then that is a separate compensation from the employer."
On Sunday, Dey told the SUN that she was worried that the company will not foot the bill for funeral arrangements.
However, Joseph said that due to the archaic laws on the books, the employer may not be liable to incur the expenses involved in transporting the body.
"The whole document needs to be looked into, because the average person is not aware of it. But the law still states that where death results, the actual cost of the burial of the deceased workman must be the responsibility of the employer, along with the compensation. It never said anything about transporting a body out of state though."
The SUN has learnt that Sancho's reportedly estranged wife will be on island by this morning from Guyana to claim the body.
The couple has two children.

Carlton Fitzherald Sancho, Severely Burned, Hospitalised After Falling Into Boiling Tank

Carlton Fitzherald Sancho, Severely Burned, Hospitalised After Falling Into Boiling Tank
Wednesday February 13 2008
by A. Aisha Caleb-Browne
A 30-year-old man is currently a patient at the Edward’s Ward at the Holberton Hospital where he is nursing what is strongly felt are severe third degree burns to both legs.
Carlton Fitzherald Sancho, originally of Guyana, is an employee at the Antigua Distillery Limited (ADL) where the incident occurred on Monday, shortly after 6 p.m., during his four to 12 work shift. According to preliminary reports, the injured man fell into one of three uncovered tanks which measure between 10 to 12 ft in depth and which are usually kept closed.
It is further reported that the tanks are to be kept closed but at times, they are kept uncovered for convenience.
The Antigua Sun spoke to the patient at the hospital at which time he explained that he had gone to the hot mix area to change the wash – a mixture of molasses, steam and yeast used to make the alcohol – as was mandatory. He said on his way to the area, all three of the tanks that are used used to release waste were open.
Sancho said after checking the tank, the last attendant on shift should ensure that they are resealed.
He said, “I end up in it because right where I have to walk, there are pipes running to the big tanks; and because of the set-up, you have to ‘duck down’ (bend down). I done know that they supposed to be locked, so when I raise up my head now I see one of the pipes, and when I duck down to go forward to continue walking to the tank, I dropped straight in the hole.”
The young man added that it was his quick thinking and his knowledge of the tanks' set-up which allowed him to be able to avert further injury.
“I didn’t panic…so when I was dropping in I opened out my hands quickly and as soon as my hands touch the surface, I use my hand strength and pitch up myself out of there.”
Realising the gravity of the situation, Sancho told the SUN that he immediately started hollering for assistance as, even while he did not feel the burns, he knew that he needed to seek immediate medical attention. Soon after, the shift supervisor responded to his cries for help.
The supervisor then proceeded to remove Sancho’s boots and pants in an effort to impede the spread of the heat and the water which by that time had saturated the fabric.
“He take up the hose one time and spray it on me and then he come to lift me to carry me to the vehicle…when he do that, me skin start coming off in me hand,” Sancho stated.
He was immediately transported to the hospital.
Attempts were made to contact one of the shareholders of the ADL proved futile. Sancho, however, told the SUN that several members of the family owned group have visited him since his hospitalisation and are attempting to come to some agreement as to his way forward in terms of treatment and recovery.

Carlton Fitzherald Sancho: Burn Victim Dies at Holberton

Burn Victim Dies at Holberton

Carlton Fitzherald Sancho, an employee of the Antigua Distillery Limited (ADL) who fell into one of three uncovered hot mix tanks at his workplace, the Antigua Distillery Limited (ADL), has died.
The 30-year-old Guyana national succumbed to burn related complications and died at approximately 8 p.m. last Saturday, mere hours after friends and relatives took to the airwaves in an urgent appeal for O-negative blood.
The preliminary cause of death according to medical personnel is said to be stress ulcers, which in medical term is referred to as stress gastritis, the sudden swelling of the stomach lining. Left untreated, this may lead to ulcers and bleeding, and may occur after burns, shock, trauma or severe illness.
Sancho endured third degree burns to his legs and his groin and stomach areas on 11 Feb., when during his four to 12 work shift, he fell into the tank which measures 10 to 12 ft in depth.
A day after the incident, the Antigua Sun spoke to the patient at the hospital at which time he explained that he had gone to the hot mix area to change the wash, which is a mixture of molasses, steam and yeast used to make the alcohol. He said that on his way to the area, all three of the tanks used to release waste were open; the requirement was that they be kept sealed. As he manoeuvred to make his way from one side of the plant to the other he slipped and fell.
The young man and his sister, Onika Dey, were visited by a few members of the ADL management who reportedly promised to undertake the task of securing further medical attention, including overseas treatment if necessary. But up until the time of his death, Dey said that the help had not been forthcoming.
Hours after her brother's death, Dey told this newspaper that she is not sure what would be her next step. The obviously distraught woman, also a Guyana national, said that she and Sancho attempted to discuss with one of the brothers who managed the ADL the prospect of having her brother flown overseas for further assessment and treatment.
However, she said that little assistance was rendered, contradicting initial offers for aid. Dey also said that she is now fearful that the company may not want to undertake the expenses of flying Sancho back to Guyana for burial.
"The company may not want to fly him away and they may say is not their job. They only came back the Friday to bring his money from work, and they didn't come back again. Even when we called to tell them that he needed blood, and they didn't do anything."
The bereaved added that after they were making no headway with the initial appeal for blood, she suggested to the ADL management that they bring Sancho's father to the country, as he was not only a correct blood match, but will also be able to help care for their kin.
"He said that he was going with that idea. Then he called back and say he don't think he's going to bother with that yesterday (Saturday) when he died, then we call the boss to tell him and he wouldn't even answer his phone. Is today (Sunday) my cousin called and my cousin got him," she said.
Dey told the SUN that she will be seeking the counsel of an attorney to see what should be the family's recourse.
The SUN attempted to contact management of ADL but was unsuccessful.

Reginald Sancho, Financial Advisor, US$2.5M Bakery in Linden

Reginald Sancho, Financial Advisor, US$2.5M Bakery in Linden
Saturday, January 19th 2008


Technical Director Paul Chan (right) promoting one of the bread samples. Finance Director Reginald Sancho is at left while CEO Lawrence Henry is second from left.

"Compare Bread" will soon open its doors to the Linden community but it has already gotten positive responses from residents who have sampled the product.

Chief Executive Officer Lawrence Henry said "Compare Bread is a partnership business and our main focus is to impact the lives of residents here. We put people first and we know for sure the profit will follow," he said.

Henry has lived overseas for many years and although he had successfully established himself as a businessman abroad, he said he has always wanted to return to Linden to help to develop the town.

The journey to establishing the business started two years ago. Henry said at first the partners had toyed with the idea of opening a small bakery attached to another partnership business, Kresent Mall. However, after careful consideration he said the partners realised that neither the location nor the space was adequate.

About 18 months ago they were able to purchase the building that once housed Patnomike in Industrial Area, McKenzie. Since that time the partners have invested over US$2.5M to equip the bakery with state-of-the-art equipment. "Not in my wildest dream have I thought that we would have had to invest this amount of money. We had to take nothing and make it into something," Henry said.

Technical Director of Compare Bread, Paul Chan, said it was important to maintain a quality service. Chan is an expert in the baked products industry who has worked in more than 25 plants worldwide. He said management intends to focus on the breads and tennis rolls and while their long-term goal is to tap into the international market, their immediate goal is to secure a place on the local market. The bakery will operate an outlet from a central location in McKenzie which it intends to develop into a café.

According to Financial Advisor Reginald Sancho the company is currently testing several of its breads with its training staff. They started off with a team of ten which has since grown to over 40. He said the company plans to employ more than 125 Lindeners by year end. Currently staff work a 12-hour shift but once operations come fully on stream the company intends to operate six days per week, 24 hours per day with three shifts.

The partners say some of their greatest dreams for the factory are to have its employees absorb 45% of the ownership and establish a credit union and a day care facility for the employees' children. (Cathy Wilson)

The race is sponsored by Romel Jagmohan of WCB. The ‘G' Class event has been sponsored by Jumbo Jet Auto Sales of Bush Lot and the 2 years old contest by Colin Elcock and the Silver Park TC. An ‘F' Class race has also been added to the programme.

The event was rescheduled due extensive works to improve the racetrack, which includes some amount of resurfacing and maintenance works to the stables and other infrastructural work.
