Shock,Nike Shox Clearance, disbelief and helplessness were the emotions of the eldest daughter of slain miner Deryck Kanhai. She said that these emotions described the family’s feelings in the wake of Tuesday’s shootout which left four other persons, including two policemen, dead.In a telephone interview with local journalist Gordon Moseley, Charmina Kanhai who resides in Missouri, USA said that she and her siblings along with their mother had no way of thinking that “something like this would ever happen.”Deryck Kanhai“We knew he was not okay and he needed help. There was no one there to help him and to talk to him…no family…he was all alone by himself…It’s just the most helpless feeling because there is nothing we can do because we can’t get there. We’re thousands of miles away,” she said.Kanhai was killed by police at the end of a three-hour standoff at his Middle Street,Cheap Air Max Tn Shoes, Cummingsburg, Georgetown home, after he had shot dead two policemen, a taxi service dispatcher and an elderly resident. He had also shot and wounded a taxi driver.Kanhai was described as a heavy cocaine user. It is believed that he was in one of his drug-crazed frenzies when he suddenly snapped and began killing persons indiscriminately.According to his eldest daughter, family members tried to talk him out of his habit but that did not work.“We tried to talk to him, reach out to him. I kept sending him IMs on Skype,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, try to tell him please stop, that his family loves him …“We have no idea what happened,Air Max 97 Black Leather, what triggered those actions… He’s dead so we couldn’t ask him…He’s the only one that knows,Nike Air Max Zero Black, him and God,Air Max 97 For Sale Cheap,” Charmina Kanhai said.She said that she could not say if her father had developed any mental illness within recent times.“When you talk to someone on the phone, how could you see a sign? We weren’t there with him…He called my mom the same day in the morning. He sounded fine so there was no telling. There was no way for us to know,” she said.Chamina Kanhai described her father as a man who took care of everyone around him.“A lot of people admired him. This is the man we know as Deryck Kanhai, not the man that held that gun and did what he did. We don’t know that man,” she told Moseley.The description was a far cry from the way other persons described him. Kaieteur News was told by several persons that Kanhai had showed signs of being capable of extreme violence, especially after he “smoke up”.“He would come out and shoot up in de air and den go back inside. Like he had good connections,” a man who claimed to know Kanhai well stated on Tuesday at the scene of the shooting.Kanhai’s three USA-based children (from left) Candesi, Claugeandu and Charmina Kanhai.Charmina Kanhai said that like many other persons she and the rest of the family would really like to know what triggered his actions on Tuesday.“We are truly sorry for the relatives of the victims. It is really painful; we are feeling their pain.”She dismissed rumours that stated that the family had walked out on Kanhai and that may have triggered the possible deterioration of his mental state.According to Miss Kanhai, her father was living with another woman who had moved out of his house recently, but she does not believe that that was responsible for his actions.“I don’t know when she left him. I know it’s been some days, so I can’t see it taking that many days to trigger such actions,” she said.She said that apart from his three children with his first wife, Kanhai also has three other children in Venezuela that she knows.
