Two in custody over murder of Crabwood Creek woman

Two men suspected to be part of the gang that was ordered to kidnap a 36-year-old woman whose body was discovered in a clump of bushes at East Canje Berbice on Friday morning have since been arrested for questioning.

Police in a statement on Friday had said that Telisha Domandeo of Crabwood Creek, Corentyne, and a mother of one was found at Betsy Ground, East Canje, Berbice, with an incision to her neck. Her body was wrapped in a blanket.

A wanted bulletin for her ex-partner, Sunil Durga who is suspected to have ordered the kidnapping was also issued on Friday.

According to a reliable police source, investigators arrested two of the persons who were suspected to be a part of the gang.

The persons are said to be from the Canje Creek Area. As of yesterday afternoon, the men were still being questioned as the search continued for Durga.

Information provided by the police revealed that Domandeo went missing on April 14. At the time, she had moved out of her home at Crabwood Creek and was living with her mother at Blairmont, West Bank Berbice.

Domandeo had previously shared a relationship with Durga, 50, of Betsy Ground, Canje, from which they have a child.

Subsequent to the report of the abduction from her mother’s home, police said checks were made for both Domandeo and Durga in regions Five and Six but they were not found.  Further checks however led to the discovery of the body on Friday. 

Domandeo was found a short distance away from Durga’s animal pen in a blue t-shirt and multi-coloured trousers.

Police from the marine unit acting on intelligence gathered visited a location at New Forest, East Canje and found a mattress and pillow with suspected bloodstains.
