Mc Doom businesswoman’s murder…Suspects released

Jan 01, 2012 News

 

The two persons who were arrested in connection with the Christmas Eve day murder at Mc Doom, East Bank Demerara, have been released from police custody as investigators seem to have met a dead end.
The men were arrested to assist with investigation into the murder of businesswoman Karen Reid Patterson.
A source close to the investigation revealed that two men who are from the Mc Doom area were released late yesterday evening. However, they are to report to the police on a daily basis. Meanwhile a post mortem examination which was performed on the woman’s remains has revealed that she died as a result of shock and hemorrhage due to multiple stab wounds.
Early Christmas Eve, a woman who lives in the building where Patterson operates her restaurant and bar, ‘Flavor Cool Off’,  made the discovery around 06:30 hours.
Patterson, who lived and operated her business from the bottom flat of the building, was found lying in a pool of blood in the bar area. Her apartment and the bar area were ransacked and the walls in the bar area smeared with blood.
Persons speculated that the woman may have been killed by person or persons who frequented her bar as there appeared to have been no forced entry into the building. At the time when the discovery was made, there were still empty bottles of liquor on a table which suggested that the woman never got a chance to close up her business place.
Persons told this publication that it did not matter how late the woman closed her business place she always tidied up the surroundings and ensured that her tables and chairs were neatly packed into the building.
