Police are still hunting for 44-year-old Vidol Anthony Rawlins who allegedly killed his wife of six years, Candy, sometime Thursday night after tying the woman’s 11-year-old daughter to a chair.
Police sources say that Rawlins, a construction worker of Lot 4 Crane Housing Scheme, West Coast Demerara (WCD) left a note next to his wife’s body, and then went into hiding.
Kaieteur News understands that Rawlins, in the note, suggested that he was going to commit suicide. “In the letter he requested that he was going with his father who passed away already,” a police source said.
Around 09:00 hrs on Friday, the nude body of the mother of one was discovered on her bedroom floor by her daughter who had managed to untie herself. The man had bound the girl earlier.
This publication was told that the dead woman’s face was wrapped with a mosquito net and bound with duct tape. Her hands were tied behind her back with a sheet. Investigators found a bloodstained knife next to her body.
Recalling what happened that night, the daughter told investigators that she was in her room and she heard her stepfather demanding sex from her mother.
She said that she did not take the “noise too serious” because constant quarrel is a norm in the home.
“She said she went back to sleep. The next day when she wake up the stepfather taped her mouth and tied her up in a chair,” a police source explained.
He added that the 11-year-old girl claimed that she managed to untie herself after some time and ran to her mother’s room.
“When she see her mother she start scream and she run and call out for the neighbours who then informed the police,” the source said.
One woman claimed that she saw the suspect leaving his home early Friday with his haversack.
“He does normally leave around that time to go to work, so I thought he was going to work but he used a different route than he does normally use,” the neighbour claimed.
No one reported hearing any noise coming from the house.
Neighbours said that the couple fought and quarreled often.
“Early this year he broke her hand and it was in bandage for months,” a neighbour said.
The search is on for the construction worker.
