Apr 16, 2019 News

Arrested: Kamela Jameer

The 71-year-old woman whose life was tragically ripped from her, allegedly by her very own daughter, died from shock and haemorrhage due to an incise wound to the neck.

Government Pathologist Vivekanand Brijmohan performed the autopsy on Rookmin Jameer of Tempe Village, West Coast Berbice.
Divisional Commander Paul Langevine said that a file is being prepared to be sent for advice from the DPP for charges to be laid.

On Saturday night, the woman’s daughter Kamela Jameer, reportedly confessed to the killing after she cracked under intense questioning by police. She told lawmen that she and her mother had an argument over some money she stole and the situation escalated, she picked up a chopper from the kitchen counter and slit her throat. The pensioner collapsed and bled to death before the accused called relatives and authorities.

Killed: Rookmin Jameer

She had hatched up an excuse to make it appear that that her mother was killed while she was at church. However, her story only elicited more questions. She told relatives and police that she went to church Friday afternoon, and when she returned, she found her mother on the kitchen floor dead with her throat slit. But sources in the village stated that the younger woman was imbibing that afternoon and that she habitually abused her mother.

The dead woman’s son had told Kaieteur News that his mother complained to his wife a week prior to her death, that his sister had stolen money from her. They had advised her to make a report, but she was scared, since the daughter threatened to harm her if she left the yard.

Kamela Jameer and her husband were arrested on Saturday and she reportedly confessed hours later. Her husband was subsequently released.
