Years of abuse ended tragically on Friday after a 54-year-old woman was murdered in her Cummings Lodge, East Coast Demerara (ECD) home allegedly by a male relative, who has since admitted to committing the crime.
Reports are that the lifeless body of Merlyn Singh also known as ‘Jean’ was discovered in her bedroom at Lot 415 Eight Street, South East Cumming’s Lodge, ECD around 8am last Friday. She was allegedly beaten and strangled last Thursday night.
Merlyn lived in the upper flat of the house with her brother and sister-in-law while her father occupied the lower flat of the house. The woman, who relatives said was mentally unstable was last seen alive last Wednesday.
