The suspect reportedly going by the name “Marvin”, who is said to have attacked a 79-year-old pensioner at her Crabwood Creek home on Friday, continues to evade the police. Ranks who are on the hunt for the suspect have received information that he has fled into the Berbice River area with the assistance of a close friend.
This was confirmed by Divisional Commander Ian Amsterdam. He divulged that investigators are also in search of the “friend” who is believed to have aided the attacker’s escape.
Meanwhile a post mortem examination conducted on the body of the pensioner revealed that she died of a coronary heart failure.
Amsterdam added that the woman was suffering from a heart condition. The assault aggravated her condition and resulted in her death.
The 79-year-old woman, Jasodra Sankar, who lived with her 13-year-old grandson at Grant 1779 Crabwood Creek was allegedly raped and beaten by a village ‘junkie’.
Her son Raymond Jordan had told Kaieteur News that on Thursday an associate of his by the name of “Marvin” visited his home and they were imbibing. The man then left to purchase a pair of slippers and a bottle of perfume and subsequently returned and continued drinking.
“After he come back like around 4:00 he tell me seh how he gah go by he boss man fuh collect something and he gone and never come back.”
The following morning Jordan said his nephews showed up at his home informing him that his mother was hospitalized. “After me get the message me go by me mother house and me see the very slippers that he (Marvin) buy deh in the house and me see blood and wan cloth tie up like wa dem tie she hand with. I pick up the slipper and carry it to the station”.
Kaieteur News understands that after the dastardly act was committed on the woman the suspect escaped. Sankar managed to run to her daughter’s residence located a street away where she collapsed. Janet Jordan told reporters that her mother came to her home in the wee hors banging on her floor from the bottom flat.
“She went at the downstairs beating the floor and hollering for ‘Ambi’, my big son.’Ambi yuh nah help yuh grandmother’, but my son wasn’t home. Me and my husband get up and went downstairs when we flash the light and see she rolling on the ground and we pick she up and carry she on the bed.”
According to her whilst on the bed her mother, visibly in pain and bleeding from her mouth that appeared to be torn at both corners, muttered, “Yuh see wa dem do to meh?”
Jordan said she kept asking her mother what had happened to her and to whom she was referring, but her mother was in too much pain.
She explained that her mother’s left eye was swollen, her mouth bleeding and there was a sheet knotted several times around her neck and wrapped around her body. “She was groaning in pain so we decided to take her to the hospital. That was around 2:30 the same night.”
Jordan stated that they rushed her to the Skeldon Public Hospital and was subsequently transferred to the New Amsterdam Public Hospital on Friday. She succumbed to her injuries some time around 15:30 hrs on Friday.
The woman told this publication that doctors indicated to her that her mother was sexually assaulted, bleeding internally and her blood pressure was above normal.
