Omega Ault, the teacher whose decomposed body was discovered in her Crane, West Coast Demerara (WCD) apartment last Friday died as a result of brain haemorrhage and multiple traumas to the head, an autopsy confirmed.

Head of the Guyana Police Force’s (GPF) Corporate Communications Unit, Mark Ramotar yesterday confirmed the findings of the autopsy which was conducted by Government Pathologist, Dr Nehaul Singh.

The decomposed body of 41-year-old Omega Ault was discovered by her brother, Kevin Ault.

Clarence Farley’s vehicle which was recovered by the police.

The GPF has since issued a wanted bulletin for her husband, Clarence Farley called ‘Junior,’ 41, of 1A ‘X’ New Road, Vreed-en-Hoop, WCD  and Lot 291 Section ‘A’ Block ‘Y’ Golden Grove, East Bank Demerara (EBD).

He is suspected to have murdered Omega Ault sometime between May 14 and last Friday.

Ramotar yesterday told Stabroek News that while Farley remains on the run, the police have since recovered his motor vehicle, a Toyota Spacio.

According to Ramotar, police acting on information received around 10.30 am on Saturday went to a lumber yard at Coverden, EBD where Farley’s vehicle was found abandoned.

In a statement issued on Friday night, the police had said Kevin Ault reported to ranks at the Vreed-en-Hoop Police Station that he had been calling Omega but was not getting through to her for two weeks.

As a result, Kevin Ault said he went to her address at Crane and after calling and getting no response, he pushed open the front door to the house and was greeted  by an odour.

He then went into the front room of the house and saw the decomposing body of his sister lying motionless. The police were then alerted.

The couple shared a 3-year-old child. The police said that Farley dropped off the child at one of Omega Ault’s sisters, Tracy Ault, at her Diamond, EBD house last Wednesday and has not been seen or heard from since.

Tracy Ault had told Stabroek News that she takes care of the child from time to time. She related that after Farley did not return for the child, she didn’t sense anything was amiss and instead assumed her sister was busy.

While the police had said their enquiries revealed that the couple had been encountering marital problems, Omega Ault’s family told Stabroek News that they were not aware of her having any problems with her husband of more than 15 years.

“She is very quiet. Very, very quiet. She don’t disclose her problem to anybody…She never tell me nothing. She never give we a sign that she had problem or whatever it is. She never, never disclose that…Everybody is so shock that this happen because my brother-in-law was such a loving person but after what happen like we can’t even get a grip up to now,” Tracy Ault had previously told this newspaper.

Tracy Ault explained that Omega Ault and her husband had been married for more than 15 years and at no point during this time did her sister ever communicate to her that she was experiencing problems in her relationship.
