The two suspects in the murder of Rhampattie Ramsundar have been released on station bail and the police are continuing their investigators.
Divisional Commander Gavin Primo yesterday confirmed that the men were released over the weekend.
The 64-year-old woman was last Tuesday found in the kitchen of her home, which had been ransacked. Her hands, which were raised above her head, were tied and marks of violence were visible about her body. There was also something around her neck leading to suspicions that she had been strangled. The perpetrator/s also threw a piece of cloth over her body.
More that half a million dollars which the woman had collected several days before her death, was missing.
A neighbour reported hearing strange sounds around 3:30 am and when she looked out saw that a side door on the upper flat was open and the house lights were on. The woman said she called out to the Ramsundar but there was no answer. When she looked out again about an hour later, the door was closed. The neighbour had said that seeing the door open was not strange because the elderly woman would sometimes use her outside washroom.
Hours after her body was found, a tracker dog led police to the home of a man that had reportedly been troubling the woman causing her to make several police reports. He was not at home at the time but was arrested subsequently along with another male resident who sold DVDs.
It was unclear what connection the second man might have had to the woman.
