Cops take hair samples from Dr Doobay, search office

May 28, 2011 News

– victim’s relative still in custody

Police yesterday took hair samples from Dr. Ramsundar Doobay and also removed clothing from his home as they continue investigations into his wife’s still-unsolved murder.
A police official also disclosed that detectives searched the physician’s office at the Georgetown Hospital Public Corporation.
Police crime scene ranks had examined Dr. Doobay’s car on Thursday for possible forensic evidence. Kaieteur News was told that they found possible bloodstains in a car near the victim’s home. They also detected what appeared to be blood in two sinks on the premises.
Strands of hair were also recovered from the dead woman’s right hand, and this has led detectives to surmise that the woman had managed to grab her killer. An official said that a post mortem conducted on Mrs. Doobay yesterday revealed about eight wounds on the head.
Meanwhile, a male relative of Mrs. Sharanie Doobay remained in custody for a second day. The police official also disclosed that a maid of the Doobays was detained but has since been released.
Kaieteur News understands that police have received conflicting statements on whether the employee was at the Doobays’ home on the day of the murder.
The body of 58-year-old Sharanie Doobay was found lying in a pool of blood near the kitchen of the two-storey Echilibar Villas, Campbellville residence on Tuesday afternoon.
The victim had been struck at least four times in the head with a blunt instrument. Police sources said that one of the wounds was to the back of the head, another at the side, and two at the top of the skull.
Investigators believe that the woman was killed about two and a half hours before she was reportedly found.
Reports are that Dr Doobay, accompanied by a nephew, arrived home at around 16:30 hours. He called repeatedly for his wife to open the door but got no answer.
He eventually sought assistance from his nephew to remove a few panes from a window on the upper flat, since those in the lower flat were reinforced with metal grills.
The nephew then climbed through the window, and entered the bottom flat, where he made the gruesome discovery.
A neighbour who saw them trying to enter the house enquired whether something was wrong. The neighbour said that the nephew who was entering the home through the window simply said that Dr Doobay was there.
The neighbour said that Dr Doobay said nothing but a female who was there explained that they were calling the home and were getting no answer.
Other persons in the area reported that earlier in the day they heard Mrs Doobay cussing on the phone.
Another person said that he saw a silver-coloured car  at Doobay’s home around 15:00 hours. This individual begged not to be identified.
