The police have released the two persons who were held earlier this week in connection with the murder of Cornelia Ida pensioner, Bibi Keneiz.
Acting Commander of ‘D’ Division Leslie James yesterday confirmed with Stabroek News that this was done at the end of questioning and once the 72 hours detention period expired.
The body of 65-year-old Keneiz was discovered in her Cornelia Ida Squatting Area, West Coast Demerara home with several stab wounds and it was believed that she was sexually assaulted prior to her death.
She was last seen alive last Sunday around 5.30 pm and was discovered dead by her only son, Dennis (only name given), who had visited to take her a meal. At the time she was nude from her waist down.
One of her daughters, Seema Ferreira had informed this newspaper that after receiving the news, she rushed to her mother’s house where she saw her lifeless body in a hammock. Her mouth was stuffed with cloth and she had bled profusely.
Neighbours recalled hearing no strange sounds prior to the discovery, which would have indicated that something was amiss.
