Family suspects foul play
The partly decomposed body of 29-year-old Anjanie Mahdoo of 185 Fifth Street, Alexander Village was yesterday found in a canal at LBI, East Coast Demerara.
Dead: Anjanie Mahdoo
Mahdoo, otherwise known as “Pinky,” was reportedly discovered by a group of sugar workers around 7 am. The body was then taken to the Lyken’s Funeral Home where it was later identified by relatives.
At the time the body was discovered the deceased was wearing a multi-coloured top and a pair of black pants.
When Stabroek News visited the home of the deceased, the family was very emotional about the loss of their loved one. Toolsidai Mahdoo, the mother of the deceased, told this newspaper that she last saw her daughter on Monday morning just before she left for work. The lady was employed at a Regent Street store.
Rebecca Shivdyall, a co-worker of Mahdoo, was the last of her friends to see her alive. She said that she and the deceased left work after five o’ clock to go shopping for footwear. And according to her, they went to a shoe store where the deceased purchased a pair of slippers. After they left the store she said that they began to walk towards the car park but then they parted ways after she (Shivdyall) decided to catch a bus on North Road instead. According to Shivdyall, Mahdoo had said that she was going home to prepare to go to the Diwali motorcade.
Meanwhile, Devika Gangaram said that on Monday evening `Pinky’ called her and asked her to collect her at home to go to the motorcade. Gangaram said that when she went to the house she was surprised that her sister was not at home.
The family members are convinced that foul play is involved since they say that the deceased was not one to stay out late at night. Moreover, they said that she always answered her cellular phone and since Monday evening when they dialled they got her voice mail.
When asked how she could have ended up in LBI, the relatives suggested that she may have gone to visit her boyfriend who lives at Success on the ECD.
Police are investigating the matter and are awaiting the results of the post-mortem examination.

My sympaties to the family,this diwali was not a happy one for them,so sad!
Question the boyfriend although nothing may come out of this and another murder throw out at sea. Condolence to the relatives. Living in Guyana now is scary every day u open the papers it’s a mystery.
I dont know what is going on in guyana,but what i know they better had do something very fast it is just crazy.

Way to go Guyana police force maybe this will be another fine man act without any motive.

The police are waiting on Green’s promotion.
Again, one of the most marvelous creations of God has been destroyed. Woman – a source of true love and affection in the life of man, and the family of mankind. Where family life is concerned, I sometimes admire the length at which women would go sustain family. It is easy for some fathers to walk off.
What is wrong with the men of Guyana? They chop women, they rape and kill them, and they burn them with all sorts of corrosive acids. What is the Government doing in respect of the education of young boys about the manner in which a girl or woman ought to be treated? Men in Guyana think that they can virtually own a woman. How could you? The educating of how a girls/woman must be treated should begin at the Primary Lever. Society is heading nowhere if this fact is not clearly understood.
Red Lion
Our sympathy goes out to her relatives. Yet another set of investigations to be continued. I suggest you get the postmortem results, hand them to whoever needs them for whatever reasons & you, the family, bury your deceased. Do not expect anything from our authorities. Find the best way to bring closure to this sad story.
“The family members are convinced that foul play is involved….” At the Diwali motorcade? Imagine how people would have reacted if this thing had happened at the recent controversial Miss Diwali sari contest.
