Industry man wanted for Cummings Lodge murder

Almost one month after the gruesome murder of Anita Mohan, whose battered body was found in her Cummings Lodge, Greater Georgetown home, the Police have issued a wanted bulletin for the second suspect.
Damion Hopkinson, 27, of Lot 55 Industry, East Coast Demerara, is wanted by the Police in connection with the murder, which occurred on September 5.

So far, the dead woman’s nephew, Kevin Mohan, also called Azad Ally and “Chucky”, 22, was charged for the murder, but the Police have since been on the hunt for the second suspect.

Upon his arrest, the nephew allegedly told detectives that his now dead aunt sold drugs at home apart from selling greens and vegetables during the day. He claimed that on the day in question, a friend had purchased some drugs from the woman and left.
The friend later returned and requested another package but on credit since he did not have money. He further stated that his now dead aunt refused to give credit which led to an argument.
It was during the argument that the suspect and his accomplice dealt the woman several blows to the head.
In an attempt to authenticate the statement, detectives revisited the scene to conduct an additional search but no illegal substance was found on the premises.
The body of the 48-year-old greens vendor was discovered by her son lying in a pool of blood after he returned home from work. He immediately raised an alarm and the Police were summoned. The woman’s head was bashed in, with a single stab wound to her chest.
A bloody rolling pin, suspected to be one of the murder weapons, was found in close proximity to her body, as well as a broken beer bottle.
A pair of wet three-quarter pants was found in the washing area which led investigators to believe that after committing the murder, the main suspect might have washed off the blood.
However, when contacted on Wednesday, Rosita Sarabjeet refuted the story given to the Police by Ally, claiming that her sister was a greens vendor and was never involved in any illegal activities.
Meanwhile, an autopsy performed on the body of Mohan revealed that she sustained a chop to her head and one near her temple, along with a stab wound to her chin and one to her mouth. The perpetrators also cut off a portion of her tongue before strangling her.
Anyone with information that can lead to the arrest of the wanted man is asked to contact the Police on 229-2289, 229-2557, 229-2750, 225-2227, 225-0575, 911 or at the nearest Police Station.
