Victim laid to rest
Almost one week after she was brutally murdered at her Lot 502 West Ruimveldt Housing Scheme home, Shenese Richardson-Austin was laid to rest after a tearful ceremony.
She was laid to rest at the Le Repentir Cemetery yesterday afternoon.
Richardson was killed last Sunday night when four armed men intruded her home. According to her sister Rihanna Haynes, the men had come to buy cigarettes, and she was about to give the change back when the men forced their way into the Haynes home.
The woman said that Richardson was in her bedroom eating when the incident occurred.
After they entered the home, the men went straight to Richardson’s room, armed with a knife which they had collected from the kitchen drawer.
Haynes opined that it was like they knew the house, because they knew where everything was situated. She added that someone must have given them a proper description of the interior of the house. “No one could have walked off the street and found the kitchen knife.”
The police had detained the woman’s estranged husband, but he was later released on $100,000 station bail after the stipulated time had elapsed. Shenese leaves to mourn six other siblings and her mother. Investigations are still ongoing into the murder.
