A 38-year-old man is wanted by police for allegedly killing his mother and injuring her four-year-old granddaughter.
The deceased woman is 62-year-old Jennifer “Judith” Anderson who lived in the two-storey house with her granddaughter.
The incident occurred at their home at Good Intent, West Bank Demerara between 12:00 p.m. on Wednesday and 12:00 p.m. on Thursday. Anderson was last seen alive by her daughter at around 12:00hrs on Wednesday.
The Guyana Police Force (GPF), said the suspect is allegedly a drug addict who would steal items from his mother. At around 12 p.m. on Thursday, another of the woman’s sons, Mark Anderson, said was contacted by someone informing him that his brother had assaulted the young girl and her grandmother.
After rushing over to her home he discovered her body under a pile of clothes near a wardrobe in her bedroom. Police were called to the scene and, after examining the body, found several small circular injuries on her face and chest.
The woman was taken to the West Demerara Regional Hospital where she was pronounced dead while the child was treated for her injuries and sent away.
The suspect has not yet been found and investigations are ongoing.
