The Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) is investigating the death of 44-year-old Hemat Kumar Mohamed, who dies while in custody at the Leonora Police Station. Police report that Mohamed was detained in connection with the alleged murder of 46-year-old Shavannie Hanoman, of De Groot-Enkline, Uitvlugt, West Coast Demerara. One report states that Mohamed’s body is found in his cell on Saturday, June 27, 2026, a day after he allegedly confessed to killing his wife and dumping her body in a trench at De Groot-Enkline. Another account says the OPR investigation has started following his death in police custody. The sources describe Mohamed as being held in the station’s lockups and provide his age and address, but they do not set out the circumstances of his death or any immediate findings from the investigation. The matter is now under OPR review.
