Jasodra Sankar

Police in Berbice are on the hunt for the man who invaded a Crabwood Creek pensioner’s house and assaulted her during the wee hours of Friday morning, resulting in her death.

Jasodra Sankar, 76, of Grant 1779 Crabwood Creek, Berbice, was rushed to the Skeldon Public Hospital around 3 am on Friday, after she alerted relatives that an intruder had assaulted her in her concrete, two-bedroom flat house. A pair of slippers found at the woman’s house has led to fingers being pointed at a known man.

Sankar was treated at the Skeldon Public Hospital for some time, and then around 5 am on Friday, she was transferred to the New Amsterdam Public Hospital;
