Women murder accused further remanded

Jun 30, 2012 News

 

Wife of slain US-based Guyanese Abdool Shakeel Majid and another woman have been further remanded to jail.
The women, Hemwattie Abdulla, called Anita Nazeema Khan, 37, and Surojinie Tirmaul, 43, of Belvedere New Housing Scheme, Corentyne, Berbice, made another court appearance on Friday June 29, 2012 before Magistrate Krisendat Persaud at the Springlands Magistrate’s Court.  They were not required to plead and will make their next appearance on July 12.
The women, who are being represented by Attorney at Law Mursalene Bacchus, are charged with killing Abdool Shakeel Majid. The man’s body was found on April 28, last, on the Number 56 Beach.
Police were able to crack the case when the man’s wife returned to the United States after he went missing. She then returned to Guyana from the United States and reported to the New Amsterdam Police Station to identify her slain husband’s body. She was promptly arrested.
On April 28, the body of a man was found with his scalp missing and other injuries at the Number 56 Village, Corentyne foreshore around 07.40 hrs.
Bloodstains and sand were found in the car trunk that the couple had rented. Detectives had also retrieved the driver’s permit from the car.
The remains were only identified on May 16 last, when a brother visited Guyana after becoming suspicious about the wife’s behaviour.
He subsequently travelled to New Amsterdam, Berbice and positively identified his brother’s body at the mortuary.
Meanwhile, detectives were alerted that a car that the victim usually rented while in Guyana had been used to transport the body.
It is understood that the car had sand and bloodstains inside.
