Venezuelan sex worker was strangled, struck to head – autopsy confirms

An autopsy performed on the body of Miracarmen Rodrigues Serrano who was found dead in her apartment at Quartzstone Landing, Region Seven (Cuyuni-Mazaruni) confirmed that she was strangled and struck to the head.
Government pathologist Dr. Nehaul Singh gave the cause of death as manual strangulation and blunt trauma to the head. However, the suspect was transported to the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) Headquarters where he is being interrogated.
He is expected to make his court appearance on Friday. The 26-year-old Serrano was killed by the suspect after she reportedly requested additional fees for her services.
It was reported that the victim along with the suspect and others were seen partying at a shop in the area at about 2:00h. After some time, the woman and the suspect left but returned shortly after and continued drinking.
However, at about 03:00h, the shop owner related that he saw the suspect and Miracarmen leaving the shop, and went to her room. Soon after he heard loud noises and assumed that they were having sex and as such, he retired to bed.
Shortly after, the shop owner stated that he heard the door to the woman’s room opened and someone left. He later got up and upon enquiring, he saw the woman lying on the floor with her underwear on her left foot. He recalled locking the door and going back to bed.
At about 07:30h, he again went to check on the woman and found her in the same position that he had left her and was in an unconscious state. At that time, he alerted several persons and reported the matter to the police. The woman reportedly died while being transported to Quartzstone Waterfront.
Meanwhile, the suspect was later arrested and during interrogation, he related that that after he and the victim had sex, he requested to have sex again.
The woman, however, told him he had to pay another sum of cash but he attempted to forcefully have sex with her. She reportedly put up a fight thus biting him a few times about his body.
He retaliated by ‘choking’ her, forcefully had sex with her, and then left her lying unconscious on the floor.
