No arrests in fish vendor’s murder

No arrests have been made in connection with the death of fish vendor Phulmattie Rami, police spokesman Ivelaw Whittaker said on Monday.

Rami’s semi-nude body was discovered floating in a canal at Cane Grove, Mahaica last Tuesday. Gold earrings had been ripped from her earlobes, while there were bruises on her back. A post-mortem examination later confirmed that she died of multiple injuries.
