A 48-year-old West Coast Berbice (WCB) woman was brutally murdered between last night and yesterday morning after hanging out at a bar with some friends.
According to the police, Daniele Charles of Number 30 Village, WCB who worked at the National Drainage and Irrigation Department was at the Level Up Bar at Bath Settlement, around 20:00 hrs on Saturday with relatives, and a male and female friend. However, the police said, her family members left her in the company of her friends two hours later.
The police said Charles’s son told them that in the wee hours of yesterday he received a call from Charles’s cell phone asking if he was okay. He told the police that he responded that he was okay, but the call was disconnected and in the background, it was quiet at the time.
At about 12:10 hrs, the police said, an unknown person called 911 and reported that the body of a woman was seen at Experiment New Housing Scheme, which only has about seven houses.
According to the police, the naked body of Charles was found in a clump of bushes. A multi-coloured top with suspected bloodstains, three-quarter pants, bra and underwear were found next to the body, along with a used condom and wrapper.
Charles’s body was later examined and it was found that she had been stabbed ten times; six to the abdomen, once to the left side breast, twice to the throat and once to the centre of the chest, the release said. It added that Charles’ body is at Bailey’s Funeral Parlour awaiting an autopsy, and checks were also made for two persons of interest.
