Killing of retired professor…Does 17-year-old girl know of another murder?
The 17-year-old girl, who was among five teenagers detained on Thursday for the murder of 75-year-old retired professor, Pairadeau Mars at his Lot 395 Bissessar Street, Prashad Nagar home, might have knowledge of another murder.
Armed with this information, investigators are reportedly preparing to question the teen further, a source close to the teen alleged yesterday.
As of now, investigators are reportedly comparing her finger prints, and those of her friends, with prints found at previous crime scenes.
This newspaper was told that ranks received information that on the day Mars was slain, the 17-year-old girl made statements to the other youths, which suggested that she might have knowledge of another killing.
Detectives believe that if the teen was indeed involved in a previous murder then it might have involved an elderly person, or an individual who lived alone.
There have been numerous unsolved murders of elderly persons, particularly ‘home alone’ women.
But the 17-year-old’s mother said that she is convinced that her daughter was not involved in any other case, other than the one with Mars.

The woman said that her daughter was ‘a good child’, but peer pressure got the best of her and this is what pushed her to do what she did last Thursday.
“I am sure my daughter never murdered anyone before. They are all in the problem so they will try to pin this on my daughter but this is not true,” the woman said.
The 17-year-old girl and her 15-year-old friend along with three males between ages 15 and 18, were arrested on Thursday, hours after the gagged and bound body of Mars was discovered.
They have subsequently confessed to going to the professor’s home to rob him.
The teenagers claimed that they were invited into the home by Mars after which they invited their male friends to rob the professor.
While they alleged that they never planned on killing the professor, the police do not believe this part of their story.
Detectives have recovered several items that the young killers had carted off from their victim’s home.
They are likely to be charged on Tuesday.

It is my opinion that these should be used to send a message to the others who might even be thinking it. There is a group of young people in my area who are not going to school and seemed bent on mischief. I think a message to these will send a message to all and sundry
