A relative of the Bushlot, West Coast Berbice woman who was on Monday fatally stabbed during a robbery at her house has since confessed of being aware of a plan to rob the woman.
The body of Sumintra Sawh, also known as “Aunty Betty”, 85, of Lot 131 Section ‘B’ Bushlot Village, West Coast Berbice, was found on her bed with six stab wounds – one each on both sides of her temple, three on the forehead, and one to the back of the head.
Stabroek News was told that Sawh resided alone following the death of her husband a few years ago. However, her granddaughter, Roshanie Basdeo, 35, who lives in the same village would spend the evenings with her.
