Amidst suspicion… Family desperate to return dead nurse from India

RELATIVES of the Guyanese nurse, recently reported to have died in a hospital in India, are alleging foul play led to the death.
That aside, the distraught mother, Mrs. Morlyn Scipio is appealing to the public to contribute as she, desperately, attempts to raise Gy$2M to fly the dead body back to Guyana for burial.

According to her, she has been informed that her daughter’s husband, Austine Molar has dumped the corpse at a hospital and the institution gave three days for its removal before disposing of it.
The woman related that her daughter, Abilola Solomon, 37, had left Guyana five years ago to further her studies in India, towards becoming a doctor. Before she departed, she was attached to The Palms as a nursing supervisor.
Her very saddened mother said that something always seemed to be amiss on the part of her supposed son-in-law, Austine Molar, who had telephoned her ex-husband, Leyland Solomon, three weeks ago, demanding US$5,000.
Suspicious
Scipio said when her ex-husband enquired what Molar wanted with such a large sum, the latter rudely retorted: “You are a pastor that travel around the world. You have the money; just send it!”
She claimed when the demand was refused, her daughter’s husband, who is a Nigerian living in India, blurted out obscenities and hung up the phone.
She said the family did not hear from Molar, again, until last Monday, when he contacted one of her daughters, Angelina Holligan, who resides in South Ruimveldt, Georgetown and informed that the nurse had passed away some three days prior to his call.
Call abruptly ended
Scipio said, upon Holligan enquiring why the call was only being made three days after the death, Molar abruptly ended the conversation, after he had taken the number for his mother-in-law.
Molar contacted Scipio, once more, on Monday, requesting the same amount of money as he did from her ex-husband. She said the Nigerian did not seem concerned with relating the cause of her daughter’s demise or any other information she tried to get from him. He only hinted that her body was at the mortuary of a hospital in India and she slammed down the telephone receiver as the man disconnected the call.
Scipio said, before her daughter’s death, she was only allowed to speak to her once per month and, every time she had to talk to the husband, then she was allowed to do so.
She said Molar, who married her daughter in India in 2011, had ensured that he hooked up his wife’s phone to his, making sure he, too, received all her calls and messages.
She said that, throughout the marriage, there always seemed to be some secrecy about the whole affair and this was created by the Nigerian husband.
Facebook message
In desperation the Guyanese family approached the Indian High Commission in Georgetown and, following a Facebook message sent to the nurse’s sister by Molar, the First Secretary was able to contact the hospital in India, where the sibling passed away.
Scipio said it was through this medium that they learnt the body was at the hospital mortuary and the ultimatum given for its removal.
Scipio disclosed that the Indian High Commission is willing to give her a visa but she is unable to come up with the cash for airfare and the cost of transporting the body back to Guyana.
The family has also learnt that the deceased was hospitalised at both the SAFI and NAIR hospitals in India two months ahead of her death.
Reports from the NAIR Hospital, where the woman, allegedly, succumbed, indicates that she was taken there by four Nigerians and admitted under the name Lucinda Aiating Nichols, not the one on her passport or identification card.
She died at the institution on July 5 at around midday. Persons interested in making donations can contact the family on telephone numbers: 592-225-4566/ 694-3729. (Guyana Chronicle)
