Dead: Telisha Domandeo
The body of a housewife was on Friday discovered at a farm in East Canje, Region Six (East Berbice-Corentyne), with her neck almost severed. She was reported missing about a week ago and was believed to have been abducted.
Dead is 36-year-old Telisha Domandeo, of Crabwood Creek, Corentyne, Berbice, Region Six (East Berbice-Corentyne).
The body was discovered at about 07:00h on Friday at Creek Dam Betsy Ground Village, East Canje, Berbice, at a sheep farm about 55 miles from her home.
Police have since said that the body was wrapped in a blanket at the time of the discovery. It was examined for marks of violence and a wound was seen on the neck. In fact, Police say the neck was almost severed.
Deonarine Rameshnaut said it was his son who made the discovery. At the time, he and a Community Policing Officer, who is also his wife, had gone to check on the sheep.
The area where the woman’s body was found
He said after seeing the body, his son returned home to report his findings while his wife secured the area and made contact with the Police.
“He get scared and run back; he did not get to see anything.”
A neighbour told this publication that she saw two men and a woman visiting the farm on Thursday night.
In April 2023, Domandeo left her Crabwood Creek, Corentyne home and went to her mother’s residence at Blairmont, West Bank Berbice, to spend some time.
On April 14, she was allegedly abducted; the matter was reported to the Blairmont Police Station. Checks were made for her in both Regions Five (Demerara-Mahaica) and Six, to no avail.
Police said acting on information received, a party of policemen from the marine section went into the Canje River, within the New Forest Village area about three miles from where the body was and found a mattress and a pillow with what appears to be blood stains.
According to the Police, Domandeo and a man called Sunil Durga once shared a relationship and have a child together.
Durga and the sheep farmer are brothers, Police said. An arrest warrant has since been issued for Sunil Durga.
Meanwhile, Domandeo’s husband visited the scene before the body was taken away on Thursday morning. Police are continuing their investigations. (G4)
