The post-mortem examination performed yesterday on Anjanie Mahdoo, also known as `Pinky’, revealed that she died from strangulation and from a blow to the right side of her head.

According to a police release the cause of death has been identified as “asphyxiation caused by compression injuries to the neck, compounded by blunt trauma of the right side head”.

The boyfriend of the deceased remains in custody while the police continue investigations.

Since the discovery of her body, the family members were adamant that she was the victim of foul play.
According to the family members it was very usual for the woman to stay out late and especially not to answer her cellular phone.

A close relative told this newspaper that after Mahdoo could not be found efforts were made to contact the woman’s boyfriend but he could not be reached.  However, the family members said that on Tuesday, the sister of the boyfriend suggested that they look for her body in case anyone had killed her. They said that they considered this advice to be suspicious.

On the following day, the partly decomposed body of Mahdoo, a resident of Alexander Village, was found in a canal at Cherry Field, LBI on Wednesday morning by a group of sugar workers.

She was found with her head face-down at the side of the canal and was wearing a multi-coloured top and a pair of black pants.

She was reportedly missing since Monday evening after she and a co-worker parted ways after going shopping for footwear.

Meanwhile, family members told this newspaper Mahdoo will be cremated tomorrow.
