Investigators will be conducting further investigations into the death of Liloutie Raggernauth, who allegedly injected her abdomen with gramoxone in an attempt to abort her foetus.
This newspaper was informed that ranks are trying to verify whether a second person had a hand in the woman’s death. The woman’s partner is likely to be questioned by ranks soon.
There are reports that he too works at the poultry farm where the woman was the supervisor.
Raggernauth died at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) after she reportedly injected herself with gramoxone.
A Post Mortem examination performed on her remains revealed that the 30-year-old woman was pregnant. The examination also showed that the woman died as a result of poisoning.
This newspaper was informed that the woman’s relatives were only aware that she was pregnant when Government Pathologist, Dr. Nehaul Singh, conducted the examination and revealed his findings to them on Friday.
Her stomach content was handed over to the police and a toxicology test will be done.
Reports are that Raggernauth, in an attempt to conceal her pregnancy from her parents, used a syringe that contained the poisonous substance and injected her abdomen at the farm last Monday.
However, when she started to vomit, she was rushed to a private hospital and was later transferred to the GPHC where she was hospitalized for two days until she succumbed.
This newspaper understands that even while the 30-year-old woman was hospitalized, her relatives had no idea what she was being treated for and assumed that she was having severe abdominal pain.
A very reliable source told this newspaper that before the woman died, she confided in a doctor. “She told the doctor that she took one of the syringes with poison that was on the farm and injected her abdomen,” the source said.
While she did not state the reason for her act, this publication understands that Raggernauth and a married man were sharing a relationship. However, the individual subsequently went back to his wife, leaving the now dead woman.
It was some time after noon on March 7, last, that she started vomiting continuously and crying out for abdominal pain. One of her friends contacted her father and she was taken to a private hospital and then rushed to GPHC where she later succumbed.
