Sheema Mangar’s family erects new tomb stone in her memory
– continues to await justice
A pink cemented tomb stone was erected in the memory of the late Sheema Ann Mangar on the exact spot where she was struck down on North Road by a robber in September of last year.

Last week Sunday members of her family visited the area where they reconstructed the stone which was ‘heartlessly’ shattered by an unknown group of person in broad daylight sometime in July.
Sheema Mangar, a Demerara Bank Limited employee was the victim of a fatal hit and run robbery, on the evening of September 11, 2010
on North Road, close to Church Street, when a man wearing a red sweater snatched her BlackBerry cellular phone and proceeded to drive away.
Reports stated that Mangar, in an attempt to stop the man, ran behind him and subsequently stood in front of his get-away-car while she desperately awaited a colleague who was reportedly making his way over to her rescue.
Seconds later, the robber crushed Mangar with his vehicle, dragging her a few yards away, into Church Street before escaping.

Mangar died hours after being rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC).
Mangar would’ve celebrated her much anticipated 22nd birthday on October 13th 2011.
Even after an entire year has passed, Sheema Mangar’s killer remains at large, while her unwavering family still awaits justice.
Meanwhile, her family is still awaiting the results of the samples which were taken and sent to Barbados for forensic testing over a year ago.
These sample materials include a single strand of hair and a piece of fabric resembling the one that Sheema’s clothing was made of at the time of the incident.
