A taxi driver was yesterday charged with the murder of Bibi Nasmonisha Ramjit, the elderly woman who was found dead at her La Grange, West Bank Demerara home last month, while an arrest warrant was issued for the alleged mastermind behind the crime, who managed to escape from police after being handed over by Surinamese authorities on Wednesday.
Rishiram Singh, also known as ‘Shane,’ 34 of Lot 204 D’Anrade Street, Newtown, Kitty, appeared before Principal Magistrate Faith McGusty in a Georgetown court, where the murder charge was read to him.
The body of Ramjit, who was also known as ‘Aunty Bibi,’ 85, of Lot 62 La Grange Old Road, was found bound and gagged in her home on October 25th and police subsequently determined that she was strangled.
