A 23-year-old man was today remanded to prison after being charged with the murder of elderly Montrose caretaker, Danrasie ‘Carmin’ Ganesh.
Colin Alleyne, of 77 Cemetery Road, Timehri, was not required to plead at the Sparendaam Magistrate’s Court to the indictable offence which stated that on August 1, 2015 at Montrose, East Coast Demerara, he murdered Ganesh.
The unrepresented man kept the court waiting for almost an entire hour as he refused to go anywhere until the police officers provided him with his own clothing.
After police managed to fulfil Alleyne’s request, the murder accused made his way up to court where presiding Magistrate Zamilla Ally ordered that he be remanded until his next court appearance on September 27.
Ganesh, was found dead in the two-storey building for which she had been the caretaker of after being attacked by an unknown male suspect. The entire attack which was caught on CCTV cameras in the house showed the man continuously beating and strangling the woman throughout what was first described as a robbery.
It was this footage, that reportedly led police to several suspects, however, after being taken into custody, Alleyne reportedly confessed to the brutal murder.
The suspect has indicated to investigators that he was hired by one of Ganesh’s close relatives to break into the house and find documents for the property, which is presently the subject of a dispute.
