Detectives at the Anna Regina Police Station were summoned to Reliance Village, Essequibo Coast, following the discovery on Friday morning of the body of a female alcoholic. The body was lying face up in a trench, clad in a red blouse and brown skirt.
The dead woman’s remains were subsequently transported to the Suddie mortuary for a post mortem.
Dead is 53-year-old Banumanattie Ramcharran, a/k “Carmen”, formerly of Sparta Village.
Reports are that the woman said to be a heavy drinker, was seen walking around the Anna Regina market. She had attended a wake Thursday night, at Reliance. She reportedly left the wake unknown to her sister, Drupattie Persaud, of Reliance.
