Police are trying to locate a Brazilian woman who may be able to provide information about the murder of businesswoman Elisangela Silva Figueara at Bartica.
The woman being sought is said to have worked with Figueara. It is believed that the individual is the same woman with whom the victim was heard arguing last Thursday night.
Kaieteur News understands that Figueara was berating the former employee about a sum of money that the woman was unable to account for.
Meanwhile, reports out of Bartica indicate that the employee may have already returned to Brazil. She has not been seen since Figueara’s body was found.
Police had questioned the dead woman’s husband, but he has been released. A post mortem that was to have been conducted yesterday is now likely to be done today.
The decomposing body of 35-year-old Elisangela Da Silva Figueara, known as ‘Lourde, was discovered on Sunday night in the woman’s Lot 97 Second Avenue, Bartica residence.
Figueara had operated a communications centre, a guest house and a money transfer service to Brazil.
The victim was fully clothed, but her bed was blood-soaked and her tongue was protruding, suggesting strangulation.
Neighbours told Kaieteur News that they last saw Figueara alive on Thursday afternoon when she was sweeping her yard. During the evening they heard her arguing with another woman.
The following day, neighbours reportedly observed that all the windows and doors of the residence were shut.
On Sunday evening, two Brazilian men who visited the residence regularly, forced open a bedroom window and saw Figueara’s decomposing corpse.
The woman’s reputed husband, 56- year-old Ivan Cury De Lara, was questioned by police on his arrival in Bartica on Monday. He is reportedly planning to have her cremated and the ashes taken to Brazil.
