The motionless body of Guyanese Petronella Thom-Hinds, formerly of Soesdyke, East Bank Demerara, was on Thursday afternoon found at Farms Estates in St Kitts and Nevis by lawmen who responded to an emergency call made to the Police by medical services on the island.
According to news coming out of that Caribbean island, the 34-year-old Hinds was found in the home of Muriel Archibald, a resident of Farms Estates.
While her death remains a mystery, the Police have taken a number of items from the scene and have lodged same as evidential value.
Dead: Petronella Hinds
Moments after the discovery, the lawmen visited several houses in the area and interviewed persons, but came up empty- handed in regard to leads about the mysterious death. The relatives of the mother of two are now awaiting the post mortem examination to determine her cause of death.
The Police have taken one person in custody as investigations continue into the matter. When the Guyana Times contacted a relative of the dead woman, she related that family members are still seeking information as to what led to Hinds’s demise.
“All I can say at this time is that we don’t know what really happen, but we are hoping to get some answers soon. Someone travelled to the country on Friday morning, so we are depending on them to give us some information,” the woman disclosed.
A sister of the dead woman also echoed similar sentiments while expressing her shock upon receiving the news of her eldest sister’s death.
Hinds left Guyana a few years ago to take up residency with her husband in St Kitts and Nevis.
Thom-Hinds was a former pupil of St Mary’s Primary School and Covent Garden Secondary School. She leaves to mourn her mother, sibling, and many relatives in Guyana and St Kitts.
Attempts to contact the Charlestown Police Station in Nevis proved futile.
