The Chambers of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) is in possession of a supplemented file from the Guyana Police Force on the death of nursing assistant Schenise Apple on July 2nd, 2019.
Sources have told Stabroek News that the DPP’s Chambers had received a file from the police late last year. This file had been subsequently returned to the police for further investigations to be done. Sources say the police file was returned to the DPP’s Chambers last Tuesday. The DPP will now provide advice on the file.
Apple’s family is adamant that she died by foul means and not by suicide which had been the original report.
In a news item in yesterday’s Sunday Stabroek, Apple’s mother, noting that it had been more than a year since her daughter had been discovered dead in her apartment at the nurses’ quarters at Mahdia, in Region Eight, continued to press for an inquiry.
“I am calling for a full inquiry into the death of my child and I am calling on the relevant authorities to look into the matter because this is not fair. This is unfair,” a still grieving Shonette Apple told the Sunday Stabroek.
On the evening of July 2nd, 2019, Schenise Apple, 26, of Block 22, Linden, Region Ten, was found hanging in her room at the nurses’ quarters.
The then police commander of the division, Kevin Adonis, had told this newspaper that the woman’s lifeless body was spotted by an individual who passed by her room.
Her family is adamant that her death could not be suicide.
“I know my child. Suicide is not her thing. Number two, you could have seen an injection mark that somebody bore her in her hand. Another thing: nobody commit suicide and be like that and if you look at her body at that time you could have seen like she had a struggle with somebody”, her mother stated.
