E’bo mother of two found dead

Mar 18, 2015 News

Police stationed at the Charity Outpost (Pomeroon/Supenaam) are investigating the suspected murder of a 27-year-old mother of two, whose body was discovered with numerous marks of violence yesterday morning. Three persons have since been detained, including the woman’s 22-year-old common-law husband.
The body of Quineza Patricia Benn was discovered in a clump of bushes on Forbes Street, next to Six Star Cocotal Hotel and Bar, at Charity.
Residents in the area alerted police of the discovery. According to reports, Benn’s body bore marks to her forehead, face and lips. She was clothed in blue jeans and a multi-coloured blouse.
Holding back tears, Benn’s 73-year-old grandmother, Mary Benn, explained that she learnt of her granddaughter’s death after three persons approached her at her Charity home, yesterday morning.
“A big man come and ask for Quineza, if I see her, the man left then a small boy come and said that Quineza dead.”
Mrs. Benn added that she was in shock when she heard, but she didn’t left her home immediately to go and identify the body. The shaken woman said when she ventured to where the body was discovered, she saw the police as well as a group of curious onlookers who had already converged at the scene. She said the police later asked her to identify the body which she did.
Mrs. Benn said she last saw her granddaughter on Sunday afternoon after the deceased had visited her to check on her two children, ages five and three, who are being cared for by the elderly woman.
The senior Benn said recently her granddaughter was hospitalized at the Suddie Public Hospital after she had suffered a miscarriage. She claimed that Benn’s common-law husband had subsequently threatened to kill her after she had lost the baby.
Mrs. Benn said Quineza Benn’s mother, who migrated to Venezuela a number of years now, had left Benn and her brother in her care since she was two years old. She said Benn had lived in an abusive relationship and she (grandmother) was at the time taking care of Benn’s two children.
The distressed senior citizen is pleading for financial assistance from generous persons towards her granddaughter’s burial. Police said a Post Mortem Examination is scheduled for tomorrow.
