Cops detain suspect in Annandale businessman’s murder
Police are questioning an East Coast Demerara man in connection with last December’s murder of Annandale businessman Kamal Ramsahoye, who was found with multiple stab wounds in his home.
Murdered: Kamal Ramsahoye
Kaieteur News understands that the suspect was detained about two days ago and that police are acting on information provided by persons close to the slain man. A source said that police have been trying to locate the individual since Ramsahoye’s demise.
The 35-year-old Ramsahoye, who lived alone in his Annandale Market Road property, which houses his business, was found dead in the bottom flat of the building by his brother Kumar.
His body bore 10 stab wounds and the building was ransacked. There was no sign of forced entry, leading police to believe that the businessman was attacked shortly after he opened up his property and went into his yard through the back door.
However, some investigators also suggested that the robbery scene was staged and had questioned a former female associate of the victim.
Neighbours who spoke to Kaieteur News all said that they had not seen anyone fleeing the scene and had not heard any unusual noise.
Evidence at the scene suggested that the killers had scaled a tall fence enforced with razor wire while escaping, since police found blood on the fence and in the yard.
Kumar Ramsahoye, a brother who lives a few hundred yards away from the victim, said that the young businessman, who is separated from his wife, would usually visit his home for breakfast.
He said that after his brother failed to arrive, he tried contacting him on his telephone but got no answer. The brother then went over to his sibling’s home and made the gruesome discovery.
