They have confirmed that contact was made with Guyana Police Force as law enforcement continues its search for the alleged murderer. The woman and her daughter were on Tuesday last found dead in their apartment in the Nieuw Amsterdam, a village in District Commewijne, Suriname. The duo hailed from Sparta Village, Essequibo Coast, Guyana.

Their bodies were discovered when police turned up at the woman’s house after her boyfriend, who was supposed to be at work did not show up.

When the Police arrived at the house to check for the man, they found the front door locked with a padlock and thought something was amiss.

They subsequently broke the padlock and entered only to find the woman lying on the ground with a cord around her neck while the child was on the bed in a seminude state.

Guyana Times understands that the area in which the woman lived with her children is known as a fishing area where a lot of Guyanese reside. (Bhisham Mohamed)
