Cops to check surveillance cameras
Bank employee’s death…
Detectives are to check the surveillance cameras outside the Demerara Bank Limited today to see if they can learn the identity of the thief who ran over Sheema Mangar, after snatching her cell phone.
Sheema Mangar
Investigators are checking reports that the thief had parked near the Camp Street bank earlier in the evening before his attack on Mangar.
Detectives hope that the cameras picked up the licence number of the car and the robber’s features.
An eyewitness described the car as a silver-grey vehicle and said that the thief was dark-complexioned and was wearing a red sweater.
Police officials had told Kaieteur News on Saturday that they are treating the case as one of murder.
Mangar, of Lot 675 Block Eight Mon Repos, East Coast Demerara, and a former Queen’s College student, was robbed of her BlackBerry phone around 18:40 hrs on Friday, while awaiting transportation near Camp Street and North Road.
According to one report, Sheema’s colleagues had just boarded another bus when they heard her cry out that her mobile phone had been stolen.
An eyewitness had told Kaieteur News that she saw a man running from North Road into Camp Street.
She said that the man then got into a car which was parked near the Bedford Methodist Church on Camp Street.
The eyewitness then saw Mangar run towards the car while shouting “thief, thief.”
The source said that Mangar then stood in front of the car, which was facing north, and shouted: “Give me my cell phone.”
Instead, the occupant of the car ran his vehicle over Mangar, who was dragged to Church Street.
The car then headed east along Church Street.
The injured woman was transported to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation with head injuries, a broken arm and lacerations about the body.
She was then admitted to the St. Joseph Mercy Hospital where she succumbed shortly after midnight on Sunday.
