Cops still to crack Sheema Mangar killing three years on

Sheema Mangar

“Give us some more time,” is all Radica Thakoor hears whenever she checks with authorities on the now three-year-long probe into the death of her daughter, bank employee Sheema Mangar.

As she prepares herself for the third death anniversary, Thakoor is uncertain how much more she will have to wait for police to make discernable progress or even solve the case, which has continually fuelled criticism of the police force. Just three months ago, the Home Ministry said it was disappointed with the police probe.

Mangar, 20, was robbed of her mobile phone sometime after 6 pm on September 10 as she waited for transportation on North Road, close to Camp Street.

The Demerara Bank employee chased after the perpetrator, who jumped into a car.
