The partly nude body of a 68-year-old woman was yesterday afternoon discovered with her throat slit, in a bedroom in her home.
Dead is Sukhdai Ramkilaum of Lot 50 Vryheid’s Lust North, East Coast Demerara.
The pensioner was last seen on Monday morning. Relatives living next door became suspicious when calls for the woman went unanswered. A relative peeped in the yard just after 18:00 hours and saw a substance dripping from the house and on closer examination realised that it was blood.
Police who were called to the house found the woman on the floor in a crouched position. Her throat appeared to be slit and she was only wearing a yellow top, a senior police official said.
