Saturday, November 23, 2024 is to be marked with a black stone for the relatives of Bibi Sidicka Oozeerow, 26, who died that day, at the SSRN hospital, six months and 16 days after plunging into a coma following a serious head injury, in still troubled circumstances, at the Victoria Beachcomber Hotel, Pointe-aux-Piments, where she worked as a receptionist for seven years. His injuries were allegedly caused by a fall of a moving golf car (buggy). The management of Beachcomber Group, which is very uncommonplaced on this case, had not yet produced images of the scene of the accident, despite the presence of CCTV covering the area where the accident took place. No one knows if the investigators asked for it or not. Did the hotel establishment fully collaborate with the police to dispel the ambiguity surrounding this sinister case? What about the police investigation? So many questions that plague the husband and the parents of the deceased who, on the advice of their lawyer, Me Rishi Gooriah, are working to unravel this mystery.
They struggle, at first, to put into words on what they feel. Installed in one of the rooms of their home in Triolet, Subhana Oozeerow, the mother of the deceased, and her husband, Abdool Swallay Oozeerow, have their eyes on Azeer Allymamod, their mourned son-in-law who, looking haggard, stirs at the first question. “The truth must come out, because this story doesn’t hold up. One point is all!” he said. His mother-in-law, whose closed face allows us to perceive all the sadness and tension that has animated the family since this sad episode, interrupts him by confiding that “we are fighting to know the real causes of my daughter’s death, but we come up against unconvincing explanations like “ou tifi pa ti bizin dan sa buggy-la or li’nn sote depi buggy-la”. That’s what a Hotel Personal Manager says! “
Tragic fate that that of Bibi Sidicka Oozeerow who, leaving her home on this fateful May 7, 2024 to go to her workplace (night shift), had no susua that she had just hugged her husband for the last time, prostrate a few hours later… and forever on a hospital bed, unable to communicate with anyone and deliver some confidences about this nebula that haunts her loved ones. How did we get to this point?
Azeer Allymamod confides that “my wife called me during the day to ask me if I could bring her a meal. Mo’nn dir li ki mo pou vinn kit so manze kan mo fini travay dan lapremidi. I borrowed a shortcut, known as sime disab, which leads to the hotel. I called her a few minutes earlier to tell her that I was not far from arriving and she answered me. “Arriving on the outskirts of the hotel establishment, where we have a breathtaking view of the courtyard and the course taken by the buggies, Azeer Allymamod emphasizes that he “fell from the clouds when he noticed that my wife, unconscious, was lying on the ground, a few meters from a buggy, with blood all over her. There was a man behind her. He was the driver of the said buggy. I didn’t waste a second. I got out of my vehicle before stepping over the fence to join my wife. Mo’nn gagn sok mo lavi kan mo’nn trouv li. “
Bibi Sidicka Oozeerow had a serious head injury and blood also squirted from her ears, nose and mouth. “No worker is safe from an accident. In order to prevent the aggravation of injuries, the employer, especially when it is a renowned hotel, must be able to offer first aid immediately. However, my wife was left to her fate. Did the buggy driver deign to call for help? I still wonder. I then screamed for help and a taxi arrived later to transport my wife to the hospital. In the taxi, I tried, in vain, to pull out words from him. At the hospital, the doctors informed me that my wife was in a coma. I couldn’t believe my eyes and ears,” says Azeer Allymamod.
Not only do things seem badly engaged, but the family’s anger is now reaching the boiling point in the face of the “lightness” with which the Victoria Beachcomber Hotel deals and communicates on this case. “Pa enn fwa enn responsab, boss or enn direct lotel inn vinn get nou pou donn nou bann explikasion plozib lor seki’nn arive. They walled themselves in a deafening silence that irritates the family. I tried to conduct my little investigation with some sources at the hotel who told me that the driver of the buggy was peddling the rumor that my wife jumped out of the vehicle when she saw me arrive. Who can believe in such nonsense, especially since I called him before arriving at the hotel? ” supports our interlocutor.
In addition to the feeling of helplessness in the face of the shadow areas surrounding this sad episode, there is anger and incomprehension towards certain aspects of the investigation. At the Trou-aux-Biches police station, it is emphasized that without the victim’s testimony, the status quo remains. Did the police require the Victoria Beachcomber Hotel to provide images from CCTV cameras overlooking the four corners of the establishment? Were the said cameras working at the time of the alleged accident? These questions remain unanswered at this stage. The weeks are going by, but Bibi Sidicka Oozeerow remains in a coma. Gnawed by grief and anger, the family then offers the services of the lawman Me Rishi Gooriah in his thirst for justice. “I came across unconvincing explanations from the police who did not seem to take this case seriously. “
Me Rishi Gooriah raises a disturbing detail that undermins the very foundation of the police investigation: “The police should have secured the blood-stained clothes that the victim wore and handed them over to the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) where more in-depth DNA tests could possibly have detected the presence, or not, of other essential clues. This was not the case. As a result, the hospital gave the said clothes to the parents. It was only 10 days after the accident of May 7, 2024 that plainclothes police officers, ki pa ti pe kondir loto lapolis, came to pick up the clothes. “
The lawyer points out that “I had asked for a medical report from the officials of the SSRN hospital, but it was not until November 12, 11 days before the death of Bibi Sidicka Oozeerow, that it was sent to me. “In the medical report, which gives chills in the back, we can read in essence that “the patient was brought to hospital on 07.05.2024 at 17.36 p.m. with an alleged history of fall from a Golf club at the place of work. Poor history available. She had substained trauma to right parieto-occipital region. There was a history of loss of consciousness, vomiting and bleeding from both ears. CT scan head revealed a scalp swelling in the right temporo-parietal region with underlying right temporal skull bone fracture, involving the right mastoid bone with through and through fracture anteriorly and posteriorly with mild hematoma within and adjacent mild intracranial air leak. There was also a right temporo-occipital bone fracture perpendicular to the mastoid fracture, perpendicular to the mastoid fracture with underlying small extradural hematoma measuring 7mm in thickness”.
The cleaver falls like a club, 11 days after the receipt of the medical report by Me Rishi Gooriah. Bibi Sidicka Oozeerow surrenders, to the great despair of her relatives who believed hard as iron that a miracle could happen. After a week of mourning, it is now the fight jerk-off on the part of the grieving family, who intends to play his all-out in a last attempt to break out the truth. When she was enlisted by the Victoria Beachcomber hotel seven years ago, Bibi Sidicka Oozeerow experienced beginnings that everyone agreed to describe as promising, including her trainers who would praise the young woman’s merits to her parents. Overwhelmed by emotion, they remember the important milestones of the past life with their daughter. “She was a respectful child and a hard worker, and who aspired to a great career in the institution to which she was devoted. She was always available to replace her colleagues who were absent. Li’nn mor laba mem dan lindiferans ek mepri, “says Subhana Oozeerow.
Given the shadow areas surrounding this case and in the face of the suddenness with which the irremediable has occurred, the most sincere condolences will not be enough to soothe the pain of the family who does not intend, however, to throw in the towel in its search for truth. The ball is therefore now in the police camp, who will have to change his shoulder rifle and conduct an investigation worthy of the name to unravel the true from the false in this case.
Beachcomber Group’s reaction: “A police investigation is underway…”
“Lack of empathy, suspicious silence, derogatory remarks and falsehoods,” are the adjectives that come back over and over again on the part of Bibi Sidicka Oozeerow’s relatives to describe the way in which the management of the Victoria Beachcomber hotel in Pointe-aux-Piments behaves in the face of this tragic event. Week-End questioned the Beachcomber Group communication cell on various aspects of this case, including the rumors that the hotel’s CCTV cameras were not working and the mystery surrounding the driving of the buggy driver, a type of vehicle driving around 10 km to 15 km/h in normal times. We were given a laconic response: “We are deeply saddened by what happened. A police investigation is underway and unfortunately we cannot give more details. “
