Sep 06, 2016 News

A young relative of Anita Mohan, the woman who was slain Sunday in her Cummings Lodge home, has reportedly confessed to playing a part in her murder.

Murdered: Anita Mohan

Kaieteur News understands that the relative admitted to talking a small sum of cash from Mohan’s home, while also implicating an associate, with whom Mohan had a dispute, in the crime.
Detectives have reportedly recovered a metal kitchen implement which the killers used to beat the victim. However, they are yet to apprehend the detained relative’s accomplice.
In a brief statement yesterday, police said that homicide detectives assigned to the case “are already in the process of seeking legal advice in the matter.”
“A suspect has confessed to the crime and has given vital information of an accomplice, who investigators are making diligent efforts to apprehend.”
The body of 48-year-old Anita Mohan was found in the kitchen of her two-storey home at 315 South East Cummings Lodge, East Coast Demerara.
The body was found by her 27-year-old son, who, along with a nephew of the victim, resides at the same house.
The son, Intiaz Khan, said he discovered his mother’s body around 16:45 hrs upon arriving home. He said that upon checking the home, he discovered that the wardrobe was ransacked; however, he could not say if anything was missing as he was still in shock.
Khan and his cousin, known as ‘Chucky,’ do carpentry and masonry.
There are reports that a man owes Khan and his mother $20,000 for some ‘boarding’ work they would have done for him. Based on reports, on Thursday last, the said individual appeared in front of Anita Mohan’s home threatening to kill her by the end of the week.
On that day too, the same individual, along with five other men had threatened a relative of the deceased. Residents who congregated in front of Mrs. Mohan’s home Sunday evening are of the opinion that the same individual is responsible for the woman’s demise.
According to her son, when he discovered his mother, the blood stains in the room were dry and her body felt stiff, suggesting she was dead hours before his arrival.
The victim’s brother, Ramnarine Mohan said that he learnt of her death around 18:00 hrs on Sunday, from his nephew. He said that he had spoken to his sister briefly earlier on in the day.
Loud screams were heard from her mother Evelyn Khamraj, who lives across the street from her daughter. The mother had arrived home at around 19:00hrs after visiting a friend, when she received the devastating news.
