Almost four years after Jennifer Persaud and her two sons were found butchered in their home, detectives believe that they may crack the triple murder that occurred in September 2012 at Anna Catherina, West Coast Demerara.
Crime Chief Wendell Blanhum disclosed yesterday that investigators have detained a suspect in the case. The individual is said to be a neighbour of the victims.
Jennifer Persaud, called ‘Jenny’, 41, Afridi, six, and 15-month-old Jadon of Lot 67 Sea View, Anna Catherina, were found with their throats slashed when family members entered the Lot 67 Sea View, Anna Catherina home, after not hearing from the businesswoman during the day.
Mrs. Persaud had operated a bar at the residence. Police have reportedly received information that the killer robbed Persaud of a quantity of cash and then killed the woman and her children because they recognized him.
Her father, Kumar Persaud, had said that he became worried after his grandson Raul Ally returned from the Anna Catherina home and reported that he had found the business place locked tight.
According to the father, he called the Leonora Police Station and was advised to make checks at the home.
Mr. Persaud, who was accompanied by his wife and grandson, became even more concerned when he arrived at the house and found the back door open. The relatives ventured inside and found the bodies of Jennifer Persaud and six-year-old Afridi in her bedroom.
Afridi was on his mother’s chest and there were reportedly cuts on the woman’s hands, indicating that she attempted to defend herself.
The slain woman’s father had stated that he found $40,000 and some jewellery next to his daughter’s corpse.
He had suggested that robbery may not have been the motive.
Police had detained Persaud’s reputed husband after he arrived at the scene in a taxi while police were doing their investigations.
He was reportedly thrown out of the home after Persaud discovered that he was selling drugs. She had made several reports of abuse against him to the police.
