…PM after exhumation reveals

An autopsy on the exhumed remains of Mahaicony housewife Allinva Andrews has revealed that she was tortured and strangled.
Andrews’ body was exhumed yesterday, some eleven days after her decomposing remains were found at Moraikobe, Mahaicony River.
Kaieteur News understands that a post mortem performed by Government Pathologist Dr. Nehaul Singh revealed that the 46-year-old woman was manually strangled. Some of the bones in her neck were broken.
A police official said that the post mortem also confirmed that the victim was brutally violated.
According to the source, Andrews’ killers had thrust a 12-inch twig into her privates, rupturing her uterus in the process.
Police have questioned the slain woman’s husband and briefly detained a villager who was allegedly seen dancing with the victim at a wedding shortly before she disappeared. However, they are yet to make a breakthrough.
Residents have been urged to be on the alert.
Andrews’ body was found two Fridays ago in a clump of bushes near the Mahaicony River, just a few yards from her home. She had been missing since Easter Monday.
Rhonda Chester, a sister of the victim, said that Andrews’ clothing and torn underwear were found near the corpse.
Allinva Andrews, who is survived by five children, disappeared at nightfall on Easter Monday shortly after leaving a wedding house in the predominantly Amerindian community.
However, her sister said that no one was alarmed when Andrews failed to turn up, since she was in the habit of staying at friends for a day or two. It was not until one of the woman’s sons returned to the community three days later and learned that his mother could not be located that a search ensued.
It was this same son who located the body.
