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.
East Bank Gal,hmmm,bad thing a happen to them Guyana gal,we might got fuh send yuh back fun counsel them.
“the deceased left work…. the deceased purchased a pair of slippers” .. What is this? apart from the obvious… how can dead people go shopping , it is overly formal writing…just say Anjanie…
It this the point you would like to make? That’s it? When someone is dead, it is common for you not to address them by their name. Some writers refer to them as deceased, while some writers would use the words “the late” infront of their names.
Please do not see this as a personal attack on yourself.

So sad for this young woman. interesting that Chronicle states her age at 25 and Stabroek news says its 29. which one is correct????
MY SYMPATHY TO THE BEREAVED FAMILY ,the murderous onslaught committedon the guyanese woman is on the rise, so it seems.
wow ! another one for the books, if only the police can solve one of these murders, everything goes to the forget about it column.
It makes you wonder that such a tiny population living on a narrow piece of land could produce all the murders, suicides, robberies, accidents and all the other dysfunctions that make the newspapers.
In Guyana you dont get caught for murders and gun robberyies by law enforcement authority but you can and will get caught for shoplifting and fowl pen raiding.Way to go our GUYANA POLICE FORCE who uses the resources provided to them for personal pleasure especially when a lower officer is mandated to take the many girlfriends and wives of his superior to market and shopping using the BLUE & WHITE taxi style car that the Government had recently aquire to combat criminal activities…………………………also all the parties and loud music coming from Eve leary Police Head quarters mess hall and camp Ayangana on a nightly basis.
