The two suspects who were held by the police in connection with last weekend’s gruesome triple homicide at Anna Catherina, West Bank Demerara have been released.
One of the men was taken into custody soon after the bodies of Jennifer Persaud, 41, and her sons Afridi Bacchus, 6, and Jadon Persaud 18 months were discovered on Saturday evening in the woman’s bedroom with stabs wounds and slit throats.
Reports are that the police released the two men, one of whom was the father of the woman’s youngest child some time yesterday afternoon.
They are required to report to the police each day as investigations continue.
The mother of six was the owner of a thriving liquor store in her community, but had shared a tumultuous two-year relationship with her partner, neighbours and relatives reported.
She had recently evicted him after a fight.
Relatives on Saturday became worried after they had not heard from the woman all day and calls to her home went unanswered and they travelled from the East Bank Demerara to visit her.
After calls still went unanswered, relatives entered the house and made the gruesome discovery.
