50-year-old woman wanted for 2009 murder of fuel dealer
On July 12, 2009, Good Hope, East Coast businessman, Ramzan Ali, 43, was found in the trunk of a rented white Toyota Carina AT 212 on the Railway Embankment in the vicinity of Coldingen.
Police are viewing the killing as a crime of passion. Nine years later, the police have issued a wanted bulletin for 50-year-old Milaimi Alli for questioning in relation to the murder which they say occurred between July 11 and 12, 2009.
Her last known addresses are said to be Lot 29 Good Hope, East Coast Demerara (ECD); Gordon Street, Kitty, Georgetown, and 107-15 110th Street, Richmond Hill, Queens New York.
Just a few days ago, Zaheed Mitchell, a 38-year-old driver of Foulis, ECD, was charged with the murder of the fuel dealer.
The indictment stated that Mitchell and others murdered Ali between July 11 and 12, 2009. Mitchell was remanded to prison until April 15, 2019. It was during investigations that Ali’s name surfaced, hence an arrest warrant was issued for her arrest.
Back in 2009, the businessman’s body was found by relatives who had launched a search for him after several calls to his mobile went unanswered.
At that time, investigators could not say if Ali was shot but they informed that his skull was smashed in.
He was found with a paper bag sealed with duct tape over his head. Ali’s death came at a time when family members were preparing to hold a religious function in memory of his brother Akbar Ali, a scrap metal dealer from Enmore who was gunned down on Brickdam on July 24, 2008.
One of the dead man’s cousins, who assisted in the search, said he observed Ali’s locked car on the Railway Embankment.
Upon checking, he initially did not see anyone inside. He made further checks and observed that blood was dripping from the trunk onto the roadway.
The relative then broke the driver’s side window and unlocked the trunk where he made the shocking discovery.
“His head was bagged and taped,” the dead man’s relative had stated. The police were contacted and they quickly cordoned off the scene and commenced their investigations.
The detectives believed that Ali was killed somewhere else and his killers brought him in his car and left him in the desolate area.
There was what appeared to be a skid mark on the parapet near where Ali’s body was discovered, leading investigators to believe that the killers fled the scene in another car.
Several persons had recalled seeing the parked car at around 01:00h but they did not have the slightest clue that it contained a body in the trunk.
