Cops now sure they know Montrose Granny’s killer
Police are now certain that they know the identity of the man seen on video recording speaking to 77-year-old Danrasie ‘Carmen’ Ganesh as he calmly beat her to death.
Based on the footage they have studied and information that has been provided to them, investigators say the killer is an individual with previous break-and-enter arrests.

Detectives will almost certainly try to determine why he chose to slowly beat his victim to death; why he lingered at the murder scene to search the premises, and why he appeared to be unfazed by the presence of security cameras or oblivious to the fact that he was leaving his fingerprints at the scene.
Prior to this, police had detained a 24-year-old man who they had previously suspected to be the man in the video footage. He was released a few days ago after investigators received leads about the new suspect and established that the detained man’s prints didn’t match those taken from the slain woman’s home.
The suspect, who was once charged with murder, had also provided investigators with an alibi.
Danrasie ‘Carmen’ Ganesh’s battered body was found in her home two Saturdays ago by relatives who went to check on her after she failed to answer her neighbours’ calls.
A post mortem revealed that she had died from blows to the head.
A surveillance camera recording, obtained by Kaieteur News, showed a man calmly clubbing, throttling and then kicking and stomping Mrs. Ganesh.

He is also seen speaking to and gesticulating at his victim, who is lying on the floor. The suspect, a man of African ancestry, was wearing a pair of three-quarter camouflage pants and purple jersey, and what appears to be a pair of brown shoes.
Judging from the killer’s calm actions which were captured on surveillance cameras in and around the Montrose, East Coast Demerara house, family members believe that the man was not there just to rob Mrs. Ganesh, but was calculating enough to ensure that she suffered severely before he finally ensured she was dead. Police had released photographs of the killer to the media, while Kaieteur News posted edited footage online in the hope that individuals would identify him.
Family members are surprised that the killer, who had ample time to pack away loot, left behind items of significant value which were bound to attract the ordinary break-and-enter criminal.
On the day of the murder, Police had detained a Montrose businessman with whom the elderly woman and her family had a dispute a few years ago. But the man was released after detectives failed to link him to the murder.
