According to reports, Moses reportedly confessed to murdering the man in her grandmother’s home. Kaieteur News learnt that at around 16:00hrs on Saturday, Shivlall and his wife were both at a birthday party at the home of 62-year-old Bernadine Williams, who has been identified as the grandmother of the suspect.
The woman reportedly left the birthday party at about 17:00hrs on Saturday following an argument with her husband. The 62-year-old grandmother told Kaieteur News that sometime around 02:00hrs Sunday her granddaughter returned and asked for her husband [now deceased].

The elderly woman said that as she investigated, she saw Shivlall lying on the ground, and her granddaughter over him and repeatedly stabbing him to the chest area with a knife.
She said, “I eventually go in and I see the boy on the floor lay down, and he eye done rolling up, so I tell somebody quick watch like this girl kill this boy. When I feel for he heart beat and so, I didn’t feel any. By the time I could figure out what happen, she done run out the house and up the road.”
