Woman with slit throat still unidentified

The woman who was discovered on the grass embankment of the Kitty seawall, Rupert Craig Highway on Saturday morning with a wound to the neck remained unidentified up to press time yesterday.

The body which was discovered between Celina’s Resort and the Russian Embassy turn, was clad in white short pants, a black leotard-like top, a yellow zip-up jersey and yellow ‘Gladiator’ sandals. She was of African descent and appeared to have been in her late 30s or early 40s.

The body is currently at the Lyken’s Funeral Parlour. Stabroek News was reliably informed that sometime during yesterday a family showed up at the parlour to identify the body. However, after they saw the corpse they stated that it was not their relative.

Anyone who has information that could lead to the identification of the woman should call 225-6411, 225-2227, 226-7065, 225-6941, 227-1149 or 911 or contact the nearest police station.
