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 fellow Guyanese wherever you may be, look around you and ascertain how many people were robbed or killed overnight. I left USA when I saw the 12-15 yr old being shot dead overnight and left lying in the streets for all to see. I did not live in NYC but upstate kodak area . Figure it out.!!!This is a violent world filled with many mentally ill and broken minds. How do we change things???
Make the penalties tougher…ooops they are already tough!!!
Live behind the barred/jailhouses we occupy and take it out on the keyboards is all ones do. I yhod the streets of Kingston, Jamaica without a bother. For the natives know that I yhod in peace with all.
Solution>>>>>True leadership, love and justice will mend many broken minds.
Such a beautiful sista too!!!
Boi GT trendsetting crime and is in direct competition with Jamaica. Only in Jamaica the cops rape and kidnap our 12 yr old daughters. De youths so coldddd. Searching for food for de pot, dey would do anything to fill dat gap.
Earth ah run red…Listen to Richie Spice I
Condolences to the family and nation.
“Keep it “LIT”
“Love and “Light”
This is madness ! This killing has to stop some way , some how .
The government of Guyana has to wake up and take action before evrybody gets killed and they’ll have nobody to govern.
Please PPP do something !
Another murder, This is a sad situation.May her soul rest in peace.
These many murders, especially when partners, it would seem, where women are the victims strike a seemingly insidious chord of some serious strains of psychosis among members of the society. They seem to suggest that people are not coping too well with the socioeconomic (and political?) pressures that have characterised the Guyana reality for so long – much too long. While there might have been improvement in buildings and other infrastructures, the essential strands of family and other relationships have eroded to the point where self interests etc now supercede any other consideration and people no longer value people. Indeed the Guyanese psyche is under threat. There is in all these events a concerted cry from the nation for help.
Another murder…it is so scary to be living in Guyana…the government has to do something immediatly!!! She was such a pretty girl…how can people be so EVIL!!??…this is signs that the World is in its last days…the coming of Jesus is near…all we can do now is live a right life because we don’t know when it will be taking away from us…My condolence to her family
