Crane housewife murder…Alleged suspect stays ahead of cops
Almost three months after he fatally stabbed his wife, the 44-year-old suspect, Vidol Anthony Rawlins, has managed to stay one step ahead of the law.
However, investigators are convinced that they will find the suspect.
Candy Rawlins, a 30-year-old housewife of Lot 4 Crane Housing Scheme, West Coast Demerara (WCD) was killed in July last at her home.
Yesterday, Commander of ‘C’ Division, Ian Amsterdam, said that his ranks have searched a number of places for the suspect, but came up empty handed.
Candy Rawlins, her daughter and husband, Vidol Anthony Rawlins in happy times.
“We are looking for him… we have searched a number of places but we didn’t find him. He keeps moving,” Amsterdam said.
A relative of the murdered housewife, Dale La Rose, had told this publication that they have received information that one of the man’s relatives is hiding him in the city.
However, relatives claimed that the suspect moved from that location a few weeks ago.
“The people said that he moved from there, so I guess he keeps moving from one location to another,” a relative of the murdered woman said.
This newspaper was told that the suspect was spotted in Crane, West Coast Demerara, on the Corentyne, and in Alberttown, Georgetown.
The police said that Rawlins had bound and gagged his stepdaughter before stabbing her mother to the neck.
According to a police source close to the investigation, the 11-year-old girl informed them that she was in her room when she heard her stepfather demanding sex from her mother.
She said that she “did not take the noise too serious” because constant quarrelling was a norm in the home.
“She said she went back to sleep. The next day when she wake up the stepfather taped her mouth and tied her up in a chair,” a police source explained.
He added that the 11-year-old girl claimed that she managed to untie herself after some time and ran to her mother’s room.
“When she see her mother she start scream and she run and call out for the neighbours who then informed us,” the police source said.
No one reported hearing any noise coming from the house. Neighbours had said that the couple fought and quarreled very often.
