Two more held, cops to check strip of cloth found under car

Sep 19, 2010 News

Police have now detained two more suspects in connection with the murder of Sheema Mangar. Detectives also plan to see if a strip of cloth they found under a car one of the men drove matches the material from the slain bank employee’s uniform.
Police officials said that the suspects, who are from Albouystown, were detained yesterday and that a car that one of the men drives was impounded.
Kaieteur News understands that detectives retrieved a strip of cloth from under the car.
The brown strip of cloth is said to be of the same colour as Mangar’s uniform.
The men are among four people who have been detained since Mangar’s death eight days ago.
A 31-year-old man and his aunt were detained last week, and a silver-grey car the man drove was impounded. Police retrieved a strand of hair from under the vehicle.
They have both been released, but the driver was ordered to lodge his passport with the police and has to report daily at the Brickdam Police Station.
Police have received information that two men were in the car which ran over Mangar.
The victim, of 675 Block Eight Mon Repos, East Coast Demerara, was run over by a silver-grey car in Camp Street two Friday ago after one of the occupants had snatched her Blackberry cell phone.
Mangar reportedly pursued the thief and stood in front of the car that the man had entered.
An eyewitness alleged that the occupants drove the car over Mangar, who was dragged to Church Street.
The car then headed east along Church Street.
Mangar died the following day at the St. Joseph Mercy Hospital.
Meanwhile, a visit on Friday to the scene of the tragedy revealed that vandals had removed the cross that the young woman’s colleagues had placed there during a candlelight vigil in her memory.
