Female “mastermind” in Tain execution again refused bail
The alleged mastermind behind the Tain execution, Indira Outar, 43, of Lot 8, Block 4, Tain Settlement, Corentyne, on Monday, was further remanded to jail.
Murdered: Leelawattie Mohamed
The woman who operates a sawmill in Edinburgh Village, East Bank Berbice, re-appeared before Magistrate Charlyn Artiga at the Whim Magistrate’s Court.
She was previously charged with procuring five persons to kill Leelawattie Mohamed called ‘Aunty Leila’, a 45-year-old domestic worker of Lot 149 Sixth Street, Tain Settlement, Corentyne on February 7.
Outar who is being represented by Attorney-at-Law Mursaline Bacchus is set to make her next appearance on Thursday, March 30, 2017.
Prosecutor Phillip Sheriff told Magistrate Charlyn Artiga that he received statements yesterday morning and as such the magistrate ordered him to supply the statements to Bacchus before Thursday.
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.
It was staged to look like a robbery but the intruders’ main goal was to kill. The men kicked down the front door of Mohamed’s house to gain entry.
Investigators in Berbice, in their bid to reveal the truth, launched an investigation after information was provided to them.
According to initial reports, Indira Outar found out about her husband’s extra martial affair with Mohamed and reportedly in a fit of rage and jealousy conjured up a plan with the help of a barber, Oliver Permaul, who has a barbershop located at the front of her home; Permaul’s wife, a tattoo artist; Andre James, his girlfriend Shabiki Thompson and Rohan Johnson, a Jamaican national.
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. They were all remanded for the murder.
