A 34-year old man appeared at the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court yesterday morning charged with the June 30 murder of 72-year-old Clementine Fiedtkou-Parris.
A calm-looking Roy Jacobs, a resident of Devon Street, Charlestown was later remanded to prison by Magistrate Sueanna Lovell.
According to the particulars of the charge, Jacobs, on the date in question, in an arrangement where money would be passed to him murdered Fiedtkou-Parris.
Crime Chief Seelall Persaud earlier yesterday said that three more men are in police custody assisting with the investigation. It is unclear if any of them will also be charged with the capital offence.
It was following intense police investigations that Jacobs was arrested by police last Saturday, Persaud had said.
Around 7:45 pm on June 30 two men went to the woman’s Robb Street home asking for ‘auntie’. They were directed up a side step and as she emerged from her bedroom, which is opposite the front door, one of the men pulled out a gun and shot her several times to the upper part of her body.
The men then jumped into a waiting car while the injured woman was rushed to the Georgetown Hospital, where she was pronounced dead shortly after. Residents had said that two strange young men had been seen driving around the area in a grey car. At one time, a resident said, they parked near the woman’s house. From all appearances the men were investigating the easiest entry and exit points.
It is believed that a property dispute was the motive for her murder.
