Woman’s dismembered body… Police release remaining suspects

Apr 11, 2015 News

Police have released all the other suspects in the murder of US based Guyanese Samantha Benjamin, after failing to unearth anything incriminating against them that could lead to successful prosecution.
The men, including a motorcycle mechanic, who were arrested earlier this week, were released late yesterday afternoon, three days after Berbician Imran Ramsaywack was charged for the woman’s murder.
Ramsaywack had implicated at least two of the men who were taken into custody.
He had admitted that he had organized a robbery on the woman, but he did not participate in her killing, which he blamed on two accomplices.
But a source close to the investigations told this newspaper that the two men Ramsaywack had implicated had maintained a straight story, despite being questioned and cross-questioned several times.
Benjamin’s body with its head, hands and feet severed was recovered from the Annandale Foreshore, East Coast Demerara on the morning of March 26.
At the time no one knew who the body belonged to.  Benjamin was only positively identified a week later, when relatives missed her and began making enquiries.
During their search, relatives discovered blood stains in the house that she was staying in at Middle Walk, Buxton.
Ramsaywack was also occupying the house, having been taken there by one of Benjamin’s relatives to assist in the rearing of chickens in the yard.
Benjamin’s remains are being cremated today.
