Cops grill boyfriend of teen who died after ‘jumping’ from car- absence of abrasions on body raises suspicion

Jun 17, 2018 News

Did 19-year-old Sasa Adams sustain her fatal injury after jumping from a moving car?
A postmortem revealed that the teen suffered blunt trauma to the head, but police sources have told Kaieteur News that investigators are puzzled at the absence of abrasions on the corpse.
Abrasions, according to a source, should have been present on someone who fell or jumped from a vehicle.
The teen‘s 21-year-old boyfriend remained in custody and was being subjected to intense questioning up to late yesterday.
Police were granted clearance from the court to have him further detained.
A senior police officer said that the youth “is cooperating with investigators.”
Asked if the police were treating the case as a murder investigation, the source said: “Any crime or alleged crime we approach with an open mind.
“A thorough investigation is being done and afterwards we will submit a file to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) for advice.”
The official declined to say if investigators gleaned any evidence from CCTV footage in the area where the incident allegedly occurred.
According to a police statement, Adams and her 21-year-old boyfriend were heading in a westerly direction on Lamaha Street in a white Toyota 212 Sunday night when Adams allegedly opened the door and jumped.
Her boyfriend then picked her up and took her to the Balwant Singh Hospital. Police said that Adams was conscious when she arrived at the hospital.
She reportedly stated that she had fallen down at home.
She died at 11:25 hrs on Wednesday in the hospital’s Intensive Care Unit.
Police detained Adams’s boyfriend after receiving conflicting reports about what had transpired.
Adams, whose address was given as East Street, Georgetown, was employed as a Front Desk Agent at the Princess Ramada Hotel.
