2 remain in custody for CI murder

As investigations continue into the murder of Bibi Keneiz, whose semi-nude body was found in her Ball Field Street, Cornelia Ida, West Coast Demerara home, two persons remain in custody. D Division (West Demerara) Commander, Leslie James told Guyana Times that the two men were arrested hours after the woman’s body was discovered.
At the time of the discovery, the woman’s skirt was pulled to her chest and she was not wearing any underwear which left investigators to believe that she was brutally raped before her life was snuffed out. Her body was reportedly found in a hammock in her shack.
However, James added that a post-mortem examination, which was conducted, proved that the woman died as a result of multiple stab wounds to the body. Keneiz, 65, was found just after midday on Monday by her son, who went to drop off food at her home.
Upon entering the house, he reportedly saw his mother’s lifeless body in the hammock and raised an alarm. The woman was last seen on Sunday afternoon at the seawall. Guyana Times understands that the woman was reportedly raped two years ago and although the suspect was arrested, he was never charged.
Last September, a mother of seven was brutally raped and murdered along the Vreed-en-Hoop Jetty Area, West Bank Demerara. Megon Jones Cox, 68, of Lot 14 Stanleytown, West Bank Demerara, whose tongue was also severed from her mouth, was found on July 22, 2015 in an unconscious state and was taken to West Demerara Regional Hospital.
Due to the severity of the injuries she sustained, Jones Cox was referred to the Georgetown Public Hospital where she subsequently succumbed on July 25. One man was arrested and charged for the murder.
