New Jersey-based Guyanese woman found murdered
New Jersey-A 45-year-old Jersey City Heights woman who was yesterday scheduled to fly back to Guyana was on Thursday found stabbed to death in her home, officials say.
Shrimatie Parasram, of Prospect Street, off Oakland Avenue, was found lying face down between the kitchen and dining room on the first floor of the residence when her teenage daughter returned from school activities, Hudson County Prosecutor Edward DeFazio said. Parasram had been stabbed multiple times in the back, DeFazio said. She was pronounced dead at the scene at 17:03 hrs.
An official cause of death and more accurate description of Parasram’s wounds will likely be available following the postmortem being performed yesterday at the state Regional Medical Examiner’s Office in Newark, the prosecutor said.
Parasram was fully dressed; there was no sign of forced entry to the residence, and the murder weapon has not been recovered, DeFazio said.
Investigators have interviewed family members and neighbors but a motive has not yet been determined, DeFazio said.(NJNews)
