Kaieteur News- An elderly woman was murdered at her Belle West, West Bank Demerara (WBD) home between Friday and Saturday, and two persons have since been arrested.
Dead is 64-year-old housewife, Parbhudai Boodhram called ‘Renie’.
“Enquiries disclosed that the victim resided with her husband, Anthony Alphonso Budhram, called Tony, a 63-year-old Tailor at the mentioned address in Belle West. The woman would visit her husband daily at his Tailor Shop located in Georgetown, to assist him with work and on completion she would return home leaving him at the shop where, from time to time, he would stay (overnight) depending on the volume of work,” police said.
On Friday, at around 10:00hrs Boodhram left home and proceeded to her husband’s tailor shop, where she assisted him for the day before leaving for her residence in Belle West. She made a stop at a shop in the area where she bought a number of grocery items and was subsequently escorted home by the shop owner who was also a friend.
On her arrival home, the shop owner waited until she entered her yard and then he drove off. Police believes that the perpetrator (s) were hiding in the yard and therefore managed to apprehend the woman as she was about to enter her home since there was no sign of forced entry.
Whilst in the home, the perpetrator (s) restrained her with the use of ‘plastic cable zip ties’ and dealt the woman several blows to her face and about her body.
“The suspect(s) then ransacked the dwelling house as her purse was found to be missing along with her jewellery and US$4,000 from a closet, (same suspected to be stolen). The suspect(s) then made good their escape in an unknown direction,” the police said.
Boodhram’s body was later examined by ranks of the Guyana Police Force and then taken to the West Demerara Regional Hospital where she was pronounced dead. Her body is at the Ezekiel Mortuary awaiting a Post-Mortem Examination.
Detectives visited the scene at around 10:30 hrs on Saturday and several persons were questioned in the area.
