An East Bank Demerara village was sent into a state of shock after the decomposed bodies of a woman and her infant were discovered at their Lot 408 Section ‘C’, Block Y, Golden Grove, home by police late Friday night.
The woman was identified as 30-year-old Ulena Charles and her six-month old infant. The two were found lying on an electrical extension cord sprawled on the floor as if they were electrocuted. This has not been confirmed.
According to reports, the bodies were found about 11:00 hours Friday night after another tenant who resides in the same building, but in a separate apartment started experiencing an intolerable stench emanating from the woman’s apartment.
The concerned neighbour reportedly contacted the owner of the property who is overseas-based, who then told her to call the police and “break down the door.”
That was done and the appalling discovery was made.
Two of the dead woman’s neighbours, who reside in separate yards, told Kaieteur News that they last saw her about three weeks ago.
Kaieteur News understands that the woman had recently moved into the neighbourhood with her husband, who works in the interior.
Neighbours have all claimed that Charles hardly interacted with them. “She don’t speak to people, she don’t even say morning”, one neighbour said.
According to the neighbours, they have never heard the woman and her husband arguing since they were very “quiet people”.
The bodies have been taken to the Lyken Funeral home awaiting identification.
Details into the deaths are still sketchy as the police continue their investigations.
