The alleged mastermind behind the execution of Corentyne domestic worker Leelawattie Mohamed continues to deny any involvement in the plot which led to the woman’s execution at her Lot 149 Sixth Tain Settlement, Corentyne home on February 7.
B Division (Berbice) Commander, Assistant Commissioner Ian Amsterdam confirmed that the key suspect, Indera Outar had a confrontation with one of the accused.
The Commander also said that the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) had

requested additional information. Outar turned herself in to Police in the company of an Attorney-at-Law on February 17, after the Police had stated that they needed to question her.
According to Amsterdam, the case file was sent back to the DPP on Friday. He explained that the Police were successful in an application for a further extension to keep the suspect in custody. The Police were initially granted an extension, which expired on Thursday. However, based on the request of the DPP, a further extension was sought.
Divisional Commander Amsterdam said Outar continued to deny any involvement in the crime, and further denied that she hired and paid Oliver Permaul, a barber; Andre James, a tattoo artist; Rohan Johnson, a Jamaican; Nazeema Permaul, wife of the barber, and Shabiki Alert Thompson, girlfriend of the tattoo artist to execute the mother of four. The five accused are already before the courts for the capital offence of murder. As they were being led away from court, one of the accused told the media that it was the 40-year-old woman who hired them and paid $400,000 for the hit job.
Amsterdam said the Police were not giving up in their quest to prove that the woman ordered and paid for the killing of Mohamed , whom she suspected of having an affair with her husband.
“We held a confrontation between her and one of the females that were charged for the murder. The confrontation was held in an effort to make her crack…,” the Commander confirmed.
