Woman of unsound mind found dead

Police on the West Bank of Demerara are investigating the death of a woman of unsound mind whose lifeless body was found at her home on Friday.
The woman, Merle Anthony Lee, who lived at Lot 130 Unity Street La Grange, West Bank Demerara, is said to be about 56 years old.
The discovery was made around 10:00h by her nephew, Samuel Lee, a lecturer at the University of Guyana who resides nearby.
According to the woman’s nephew, he did not see his aunt on Friday morning and as such went to check on her. It was at that time, he discovered that the woman’s clothing was scattered in the house and yard.
It was after a continuous search that the man found his aunt’s lifeless body lying naked in a concrete drain.
However, Jermin Kendall, the woman’s cousin, said that he last saw Lee alive, sitting at her front step.
Police were summoned to the scene where they discovered the woman’s body with bruises on the legs. The body is presently at Ezekiel Funeral Home awaiting a post-mortem examination.
