– ten females slain

Fifty people have now been murdered in Guyana in less than four months.
The victims include ten females, according to statistics compiled by Kaieteur News. Three of the females were minors, while two of them were elderly women who lived alone.
The victims include Sophia arson victim Tabola Abrams, 39; businesswoman Patricia Sanasie; 19-year-old Shazina Mahamad; Ramdai Mohabir, 67; Suroogpattie Ramlakan, 73; Quineza Patricia Benn; Alicia Ali, 14; Samantha Benjamin, 40; 17-year-old Davykumarie Ramadar and Alicia Mc Pherson, 17.
Kaieteur News’ statistics for the period between January and April of this year show that guns were used in at least 16 of these murders, with eight of these homicides being execution-style killings.
The Force’s Public Relations Department reported that there were 47 murders between January and April 13, 2015, in comparison to 41 for the similar period last year. This is a 15 percent increase in homicides.
Police also recorded a four percent increase in serious crime between January and April 13, 2015, in comparison to the same period in 2014.
Among the serious crimes listed by the Force are murder, robbery under arms, robbery with violence, robbery with aggravation, larceny from the person, break and enter and larceny, burglary, rape and kidnapping.
But police said that for that same period, robbery under arms overall had decreased by 19 percent in comparison to the same period in 2014.
