Pamela Mangru’s killer stabbed her three times in the throat, turning the knife and leaving a hole, from which she bled to death, relatives said yesterday.
Pamela Mangru
The woman, who was murdered on Wednesday night by her lover, had some ten stab wounds about the body.
Relatives of the woman yesterday told Stabroek News that the pathologist who performed the post-mortem examination told them she had sustained around ten stab wounds to her body with more than one to her throat.
“It look like he bore she about three times to her throat and he turn the knife because there is like a hole in she throat and the doctor say is from deh she bleed to death,” a relative of the woman said yesterday.
Meanwhile, the police are yet to arrest 31-year-old Devon Limerick, who calmly walked out of the New Road, Vreed-en-Hoop home after knifing the woman, who would have celebrated her 40th birthday yesterday. Reports are that the police visited most of her relatives but all said they did not know of the man’s whereabouts. Stabroek News was told that the police received information that the man may have headed to Berbice and they are working on the tip.
Devon Limerick
According to the relatives, after the man knifed the woman he emptied her handbag of about $15,000 and also took off her jewellery.
Mangru, a mother of four, had only recently escaped years of abuse from her husband, when she struck up a relationship with Limerick. Relatives said the relationship was doomed from the inception but Mangru continued with the man despite their advice. Limerick was said to be very possessive and would follow the woman wherever she went and if he could not do that he made sure he called her constantly on her cellular phone.
Her daughter Roxanne had told Stabroek News that the man was freeloading off her mother as she needed nothing from him and operated her own business. He, on the other hand, had a low-paying job with two young children to support. The woman had asked him to leave on several occasions but he said he would never leave her.
On the night in question, they were overheard arguing and some time after, Limerick was seen leaving the home after he had padlocked both the door and the gate. The woman’s landlord, suspecting something was amiss, contacted relatives and the police and when the door was kicked down by the lawmen the woman’s bloodied body was discovered.
The woman lived with her two eldest children and Limerick and operated a CD shop at the Vreed-en-Hoop stelling. Her other two children live with their father.
This banna face looks knowing. From the post-mortem i guess he really wanted to kill her.
I said id before and i will say it again…domestic violence is on the increase and the police are incapable of handling these situations…Guyana needs experts to help!!!
You wiil pay experts to tell you what you already know, that some Guyanese men are alcoholics and cowards and they blame their spouses for their downfall…You and Corbin in the same boat, bring experts in Guyana to do everything…

Here is the Former Husband side of the Story. Its bad reporting for Stabroek news not to give a balance View But lable the man as a wife abuser
“I loved her and would have taken her back if I had a second chance”- former husband
April 4, 2009 | By knews | Filed Under News
“I loved her and because of that I allowed her to live her life but she made a wrong decision” were the words of 39-year-old Krishna Singh.
Singh is the former husband of Vreed-En-Hoop stabbing victim, Beverly Mangru.
Singh was very emotional yesterday when he visited Kaieteur News to refute claims that he had physically abused his wife.
According to Singh he was married to Mangru for 14 years when the woman decided that she wanted their union to end.
He said that his ex-wife was an honest, loving and a caring person who never deserved to die in such a gruesome manner.
Singh said that he is totally unaware of any reason for his sister-in-law and stepdaughter to allege that he abused his wife.
He said that it was really disturbing that his stepdaughter would make such a claim since he looked after both she and her older brother when they were aged two and six years old.
The man said that the real reason for his stepdaughter moving out was because she got married when she turned 18 years. “She move out and went live with she husband. Is not because I use to beat she mother”.
Singh said that Mangru’s daughter is now separated from her husband and had returned to live with her mother.
The ex-husband said that every marriage has its “up’s and downs” but his had nothing so serious that it would have resulted in violence.
The man said that the couple’s trouble began in 2007 after he purchased a business in Vreed-en-Hoop to which he gave sole ownership to his wife. “I gave her the business so that she could be independent,” Singh said.
The man explained that his wife would be back and forth between the couple’s two businesses, which were located at Cornhill Street, Georgetown and in Vreed-en-Hoop.
He said that after problems arose at the Vreed-en-Hoop branch, his wife was required to stay for the entire day and return on afternoons.
Singh further told this newspaper that after his wife was over at the other branch; she started to get many friends whom he thinks may have misled her.
The teary eyed man said that one such occasion caused him to become ‘physical’ with his ex-wife Beverly for the first and only time.
He said that he never hit Mangru. The couple’s youngest children witnessed the entire episode, he said.
“When I reach at the store a man tell me that she was drinking, so when we went in de car I ask if she was drinking and she start to cuss and hit me”. Singh said that he stopped the car and they had a scuffle on the road.
Another instance of domestic violence that was noted in the Stabroek News was that Singh cuffed his wife’s teeth out of her mouth.
He said that his wife had a rotted tooth because of the gold cap she wore; he said that the teeth needed to be extracted.
He said that Mangru was taken to a dentist and it was fixed.
The man said that the advice, which his wife took from other people, caused many arguments between them. He said that on many occasions he would call at his wife’s workplace but she would not be there.
“I would call many times for her but de employees would say that she gone out”.
Early last year January, he said that Mangru asked for a divorce but he asked for them to work things out. He said that Mangru told him that she would spend six months on her own and if it didn’t work out she would return home.
Singh said that Mangru wanted freedom and he gave it to her on a platter because he loved her.
After moving out of the house Mangru returned two weeks later after Singh begged her to return to the family. He said that he was told that his wife was living in Soesdyke.
After returning home the problems still continued, and this forced the husband to finally decide that he would give his wife a divorce. He said that Mangru moved out of the family’s Eccles home the day before Mother’s Day in 2008.
The divorce was finalized last August. “My wife wanted freedom after following what people would tell her, but she made the wrong decision”.
He said that after the divorce was finalized Mangru started her relationship with the suspect, Devon Limerick. “I would see them all over and we even had a few confrontations because I still wanted my wife “.
He said that even though they were divorced he was unaware that Mangru was living with Limerick. Singh claims that he would still send money for his ex-wife but stopped after he found out that she was living with Limerick.
After that the communication between the two stopped.
The very upset man said that he is considering taking legal action against Stabroek News because the author of the article did not seek to contact him to obtain a comment.
“If they could have called her sister, they could have asked her sister and her daughter for a number to contact me to get a comment, but they did not do that.”
He further said that when reporters write conflicting articles such writings destroy a person character, noting that they should not listen to “hearsay” but get the actual facts about what really happened.
Devon Limerick reportedly stabbed Beverly Mangru to death on Wednesday evening.
The post mortem revealed that she bled to death.
Mangru, who is also known as “Pam”, was found lying in a pool of blood at her 79, New Road Vreed-en-Hoop home after detectives broke down the woman’s front door to gain access to her.
Relatives said that Mangru and the suspect had only been living for four months.
They described him as a very possessive person who had nothing to contribute Mangru’s well being. One male relative said that Mangru had told the suspect that he should leave because she didn’t want to continue the relationship.
Beverly Mangru would be laid to rest today. She leaves to mourn her mother, five siblings and her four children
This story has now been tried, re-tried, tried again and Limerick convicted. Time to put it to bed. Enough already!!!
WAY too many of these tragedies. My condolences to the family of Ms Mangru.
RIP Pamela. Women out there beware of possessive men.
They need to beware indeed…some of them mistake it for love!!!
