Robb Street “Granny” execution…City businessman “offers to pay family $5M” for property
One would think that three years after the murder of 72-year-old Robb Street resident, Clementine Fiedtkou-Parris, one city businessman would forget about a bitter dispute over the woman’s property.
The disputed property
It is highly speculated that Fiedtkou-Parris was gunned down three days before a scheduled court date to prevent her being awarded prescriptive rights for her property. Relatives yesterday confirmed that the businessman is still actively trying to get ownership of the Robb Street property.
This newspaper was told that so persistent was the businessman, that he offered the family some $5M to acquire the property. That offer was however shot down by relatives who thought it was disrespectful to them.
A relative explained to Kaieteur News that the businessman through his lawyer is claiming ownership of the property. However this could not be substantiated since several checks at the court’s registry did not have the businessman’s name on the transport.
Relatives said that they would remain steadfast to ensure that justice is served. “We want this matter to conclude and we wouldn’t give it up,” one relative told Kaieteur News.
A decision is currently stalled because of the fact that there isn’t a Land Court Judge. The last judge was Justice Rabindra Rooplall. According to a source, Rooplall retired some three months ago and there has since been no appointment. This newspaper was told that there’s a commission that deals with the appointment but there aren’t enough members.
Meanwhile, one senior police official said yesterday that the force was still “actively” investigating the matter. The official could not divulge much information since the matter is still pending in court.
Four men – Orin Hinds, 37; Cleon Hinds, 36; Kevin October, 31; and Roy Jacobs, 36 – were all charged with the woman’s murder back in 2011. They have since been committed to stand trial in the High Court.
