Skeletal remains of housewife found in ECD home

The skeletal remains suspected to be those of 57-year-old Dhanmattie Paul Deopaul was found in her Dr Miller Road, Triumph, East Coast Demerara (ECD) home on Saturday.
The remains were found by the now dead woman’s brother-in-law who went to visit her. After calling for Deopaul several times and not receiving an answer, the man thought something was amiss and as such, contacted the Police.
Upon their arrival, Police found the remains on the kitchen floor on the lower flat of the home. The remains were then escorted to Jerrick’s Funeral Parlour where a post-mortem is expected to be conducted to determine if foul play was involved.
Based on information received, the now dead woman lived alone in a two-storey wooden structure and would normally isolate herself from family and friends. Relatives could not say if the woman was ill prior to her passing, but based on preliminary investigations, she had never visited a medical facility.
She was last seen alive about three weeks ago by neighbours. Police have since confirmed that the house was not ransacked. Investigations are ongoing.
