Her brother, Harrynauth Ramsingh explained that his sister was beaten sometime last week and was kept in her home at Number 58 Village locked away by Mulloo.

“We mek the report and they tek statement and they said they will go and arrest him and nothing on to now and only yesterday the boy was at the ball field in the village and how the police can’t arrest he yet?” he argued.
The woman reportedly had visible injuries to her back, face, arms and other parts of her body.
Kaieteur News understands that Ramsingh had been living with the suspect for over a year and during that time she was constantly abused by the man who is said to be years younger than her. She was previously in a relationship with an individual for over seventeen years but had struck up a relationship with the accused, she eventually severed her relationship with her previous partner and joined her new lover. She shared three children – ages 16, 14 and 10 – in her previous relationship. The children stayed with their father.
Meanwhile, investigators have since taken up the matter seriously after relatives of the dead woman visited the Prime Minister’s Representative’s Office at Port Mourant. Senior ranks were then contacted; police are currently on the hunt for the suspect.
