A post-mortem examination is scheduled to be conducted today on the body of Rajkumarie Persaud, who was fatally stabbed at her home on Sunday.
Persaud, also known as “Ashti,” 24, of Lot 64 Hague Backdam, West Coast Demerara, was stabbed multiple times in the apartment she shared with her boyfriend, who is the prime suspect. The woman had been heard screaming and her boyfriend, called “Amit,” subsequently fled the apartment.
Amit, who is hospitalised under police guard after he ingested a poisonous substance, is expected to be charged with Persaud’s murder as soon as he is discharged from the hospital.
Persaud was found on the floor of her apartment in a pool of blood. She was later pronounced dead on arrival at the West Demerara Regional Hospital after she was rushed there by relatives.
