A post-mortem examination has concluded that 49-year-old Umar Ally, who was found dead in a Quamina Street guest house, minutes after checking into a room in the company of a young woman, died of a heart attack.
The young woman, who had subsequently jumped from a window and escaped, has since turned herself over to the police. It was reported that she claimed she only ran because she was scared and had decided to remain in hiding until a post-mortem examination was conducted.
Contacted, Ally’s widow Clair Ally who had been with him for 23 years, said she now believes that it wasn’t the young woman’s fault only. “I give him fault too. I doan blame she alone. I’m talking straight…,” she said.
“I’m pleased to myself that no one never did him anything…,” she added. However, she felt the young woman should have acted differently. “If you know that you and this guy have something and he fall, what you should have done is be there to save him. If you say he care for you, right, you should have wait there and try to save him. You jump… run away and leave him to die, right,” she said.
“I could tell you that this man so slick. He come home every day before me. [When I] come home from work my husband is already home. My husband don’t leave and go nowhere. He ain’t give me no signal. We don’t short of nothing. We working and we building, living life as a normal couple. He never show me no sign of cheating. The boy so clever that he did this under my nose and I didn’t even realize that it was going on.”
According to a police report, at about 14:00 hrs on April 30, Ally checked into the hotel with someone and was given room 104 by the hotel receptionist.
At about 14:15 hrs, the young woman rushed out of the room and said that Ally had fallen and hit his head on the tile near the toilet area, the receptionist told the police.
As such, she accompanied the young woman to the room, where she saw Ally lying on the floor with blood oozing behind his head. She returned to the reception area and contacted her supervisor, who called an ambulance. However, when it arrived, the young woman had already left, jumping out of the southeastern bedroom window within public view.
Ally was pronounced dead by a doctor at the Georgetown Public Hospital and several people were questioned, in addition to footage being extracted from CCTV cameras.
