…son in custody
Police in Linden, Region 10 (Upper Demerara-Berbice) have launched an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death of a woman who was found dead in her Kara Kara, Mackenzie home on Tuesday afternoon.
While details of the discovery remain sketchy, the body of the woman, who has only been identified as “Wanda” was found by Police at around 17:00h after neighbours who suspected that something was amiss summoned them.
Her son, said to be in his twenties, was taken into custody for questioning. He is reportedly of unsound mind.
Regional Commander, Superintendent Hugh Winter said someone went to check on the woman and discovered that something was amiss. He noted, however, that the body did not appear to be decomposed. According to the Regional Commander, there have been conflicting reports as to when was the last time the woman was seen alive.
“We just have to investigate and find out exactly what transpired in relation to those issues,” Winter said on Tuesday evening.
