On February 7, two men, one armed with a gun, invaded Mohamed’s home and shot her at close range after demanding cash. She had stated that she had no money before she was shot. The shooting which left many baffled, turned out to be an execution out of jealousy and anger and not a robbery.

The Jamaican admitted to investigators that he was the one that pulled the trigger. A hefty sum of $4 Million was allegedly promised by the businesswoman to execute the shooting, but only $400,000 was reportedly handed over.
On February 15, five persons were charged and remanded for Mohamed’s murder. They were Oliver Permaul, 36; his wife Nazeema Permaul, 42, who operates a business in Rose Hall Town, Corentyne;, Andre James, also known as ‘Andy’, 26, of Lot 46 ‘A’ George Street, Rose Hall Town, his girlfriend, Shabiki Alert Thompson, Rohan Johnson also known as ‘Jamakie’, 38, carpenter and a Jamaican National.
