Murdered: Chandradai Bhudu

Investigators working on the alleged murder of 83-year-old pensioner Chandradai Bhudu of Lot 83 Tain Settlement have managed to arrest two more persons in connection with her brutal death. This is according to sources close to the investigation. The men were arrested on Thursday while the two that were initially arrested remains in police custody. Regional Commander Calvin Brutus had told Kaieteur News that the two men that were arrested on Wednesday have been giving investigators conflicting information as to their whereabouts on the day of the alleged murder.

Meanwhile, a post mortem examination conducted on the body of Bhudu by Government Pathologist Nehaul Singh revealed that the woman died from asphyxiation due to ligament strangulation and suffocation, compounded by blunt trauma to the head. The body was identified by her nephew Ashton Deonarine.

Home where the body of the pensioner was found

Bhudu’s lifeless body was found bound by the feet, wrists and mouth in her bedroom in the lower flat of her two-storeyed wooden home by her caretaker Lilowtie Samaroo Wednesday morning.

Initial reports by this publication had detailed that Samaroo had shown up to the old woman’s home Wednesday morning like she usually would to deliver breakfast but when she arrived, she noticed that the door in the bottom flat that leads to the kitchen and her bedroom was open but there was no sign of Bhudu. She told police that she called out to the old woman but there was no answer and upon entering the building she noticed plastic bags with items from her home on the floor while the entire flat was ransacked. She became scared she said and she ran out to summon the neighbours who then rushed to her assistance; when they eventually made checks in the building they found Bhudu’s body in the bedroom.

She was said to be lying on her side and was attired in a multi-coloured dress, with her feet bound with “a piece of burgundy cloth and hands were tied with two pieces of cloth around her wrists separately”. There was a piece of white bed sheet that was tied around her mouth and nose with the said cloth strapped tightly around her neck. Blood was reportedly oozing from her nostrils and abrasions were visible around her neck, sources disclosed.
