A woman, who stabbed her fiancé for cheating via text messages several months ago, was shot dead yesterday morning after her child father found her allegedly “playing a game” with a half-naked man under her bed.
Dead are Roshini Amanda Mohan, age 20 and her fiancé Mark Anthony Moses, age 25. The two have a nine month old daughter together and were engaged to be married, although their relationship was a bit patchy.
Using an unlicenced 9mm pistol, Moses, a footballer from the mining town of Linden, shot Mohan four times about her body before shooting himself in the chest.
The woman died almost instantly. Her killer succumbed a few hours later while receiving medical attention at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation.
Police in a press release stated that investigations are being conducted into the murder of Amanda Mohan, 20 years, of Pike Street, Kitty, which occurred at about 05:40hrs yesterday at her home.
Initial investigations have revealed that Amanda Mohan and the suspect, with whom she shared a relationship, had an argument during which she was fatally shot.
The suspect then shot himself to his chest and died hours after being admitted to the GPHC under guard.
A cousin of the dead man, who identified herself as Tiffany, said his rage was fueled after he travelled from Linden to visit the woman and found her with another man.
According to the cousin, when Moses arrived at the Mohan’s house unexpectedly on Tuesday night, a relative opened the door, and upon seeing him, hastily ran back towards Mohan’s room in what appeared to be an attempt to alert her to Moses’ presence.
Mohan, sensing trouble, hurriedly locked her room door, but eventually came out to meet Moses, appearing very uncomfortable in the process and claiming that she was unwell.
But Moses, who by now had become very suspicious, did not buy her story and suspected that something else was afoot. His suspicion led him to look under the woman’s bed and got the shock of his life when he saw a pair of eyes staring back at him.
The two eyes belonged to a man who was half naked.
According to Tiffany, the woman desperately tried to explain that the man was her mother’s friend and they were “playing a game”. Moses was not convinced by the story. Mohan tried to further explain that the other man was in her bedroom gaffing, and had taken off his shirt because the place was hot and his perfume was giving her a headache.
Moses did not buy that story either and an argument broke out after which he calmly left the Kitty home for Lilliendal where his relatives including Tiffany reside and tearfully related his ordeal.
Tiffany and other cousins managed to calm Moses down and he stayed with them for a few hours until yesterday morning about 4:30hrs when he handed over his Ipad and money to another cousin and advised her to collect his other belongings from his home in Linden as he would not be returning for them.
Of course, this raised some suspicions among his cousins who began to sense that he was planning something terrible. They had no idea that it would be something so shocking.
“The last time we saw him, he said he was going in the bush, but first he got to go and collect something from in Kitty by Amanda. He called a taxi and left,” his cousin Tiffany told this newspaper.
The next time they heard about him was when they received a telephone call informing them that Moses was in the Accident and Emergency Unit of the GPHC, having shot and killed Amanda and then shooting himself.
When Kaieteur News arrived at the hospital the man was alive and medical professionals were fighting to save his life. He however died several hours later while in surgery.
Over at the Kitty home, the dead woman’s grandparents were visibly shaken by the news of her death. Her brother Ray Mohan corroborated the details given by Moses’ cousin Tiffany, but was adamant that the man under the bed was actually their mother’s friend who was playing a game with his sister in the bedroom.
But this was disputed by another of the woman’s relatives who confirmed that the man under the bed was indeed connected to Mohan and not her mother.
Farouk Bacchus, Mohan’s grandfather, said that on Tuesday night, he recalled hearing Moses pleading with her after finding the man under the bed.
“Me hear he say ‘Manda, you know I love you, you can’t be doing this to me’.”
He said Moses suddenly left and went away. The man under the bed eventually left a few minutes later. Bacchus said that he was aroused early yesterday morning by the sound of gunshots.
He said when he ran upstairs; he found the two lying on the bedroom floor, bleeding from wounds about their bodies, while the gun was on the bed. The two were taken to the hospital where Mohan was pronounced dead.
Moses and Mohan once shared an apartment at the Kitty residence and were engaged to be married but their relationship turned sour after she read his cellular phone messages with a woman from the United States in March of this year.
At that time their daughter was just three months old.
“She had stabbed him and he was hospitalized for two weeks but he did not report the matter to the police,” Moses’ cousin Tiffany said.
The dead woman’s relatives described both Moses and Mohan as two really nice young people who were in love with each other. (Mondale Smith)
