The Preliminary Inquiry (PI) into the murder charge against Colin Alleyne, the man accused of killing elderly Montrose caretaker Danrasie Ganesh, will soon come to a close as two more witnesses are left to testify.
At yesterday’s hearing, Detective Inspector Cedric Gravesande, who was stationed at the Sparendaam Police Station at the time of the murder, took to the witness stand to testify.
Prosecutor David Goodridge later told the court that two more witnesses, Sergeants Sarrabo and Jonas, are expected to testify. A video presentation is also expected to be viewed by the magistrate.
Magistrate Zamilla Ally-Seepaul subsequently adjourned the matter until October 6.
It is alleged that Alleyne, 23, of 77 Cemetery Road, Timehri, murdered Ganesh on August 1, 2015 at Montrose, East Coast Demerara.
Ganesh’s body was found in a pool of blood in the kitchen of the bottom flat of the two-storey Montrose house, where she had been caretaker for some time. An autopsy revealed that she died as a result of strangulation and brain haemorrhaging reportedly as a result of the severe beating she received at the hands of her killer. The attack was caught on CCTV cameras in the house
