A 33-year-old businessman from Trinidad and Tobago was Saturday, March 31, cremated with gold jewelry worth $216,000 (N77,760,000 million).
Sheron Sukhdeo, a millionaire car dealer and real estate agent who was murdered on Monday, March 26 in cold blood, was laid to rest with accessories.
The father of two, who was shot multiple times in a drive by attack outside the home of relatives at Caroni Savannah Road, Charlieville shortly before 9 p.m died while being treated at a hospital, leaving behind an empire worth tens of millions of dollars to his wife and kids.
Dressed in white along with his famous gold jewellery adorning his fingers, hands and neck with a pair of Timberland boots placed in the casket near to his feet, he was laid in a $50,000 casket with inscriptions ‘Sheron’s Auto’ and ‘World Boss.’
With his trophies from various racing events on display, Sukhdeo’s body arrived at the house in a white hearse just before 10 a.m., where several of his luxurious cars were parked.
At the funeral service of the millionaire in his palatial home in Orchard Gardens, Chaguanas, hundreds turned out to mourn the business man whose funeral reflected the life he lived – luxurious vehicles, excessive gold jewellery, friends and family, loud music and a car show.
His body was taken into the house briefly and then brought back outside, where his wife, Rachael participated in his final Hindu rites.
Before his coffin was put in a Bentley car and reduced to ashes, Sukhdeo was showered with Moët champagne at the Waterloo Cremation site in Carapichaima. Before his death, the businessman was charged twice for assault in February 2016 and later in May 2017, but the charges were dropped after his wife refused to testify.
On the funeral programme was a poem, “Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems to be the same. But as God calls us one by one, the chain will be linked again.”
Recall that members of Ugandan businessman Ivan Ssemwanga’s Rich Gang on Tuesday poured expensive champagne and splashed money in his grave before burial.
The group, popular in Uganda and South Africa for its expensive lifestyle, sent-off their leader in a fashion that left mourners amazed.
They popped a bottle of champagne and poured it in the grave and shortly after started splashing money.
The floor of the white and black tiled grave was filled with denominations of Ugandan shillings, South African Rands and US dollars.
A video shared by Uganda’s Daily Monitor newspaper showed the gang members unmoved as the crowd jeered at the way they splashed money into the grave.
