– Police following several leads
SEVERAL persons are being questioned by the police following the brutal execution of 72-year-old Clementine Fiedtkou-Parris, of Robb Street, Bourda, Georgetown, on Thursday night last at her home. The police are also following several leads and are trying to trace the motorcar which transported the gunmen to and from the scene of the murder.
Fiedtkou-Parris was killed at about 19:45 hrs last Thursday at her home.
Investigations revealed that two men, one of whom was armed with a firearm, went to the victim’s home and enquired for her and, as she came out of her bedroom, she was shot several times to the upper part of her body. The men then escaped in a waiting motor car.

Fiedtkou-Parris was taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) where she was pronounced dead on arrival.

According to the brother of the deceased, Fitzroy Fiedtkou, 74, his loved one was murdered when he was sitting on her steps, while their uncle was lying on the sofa in the living room.

The elderly man told the Guyana Chronicle that they were at his sister’s home at Lot 42 Robb Street, when two young men came up the stairs and asked for “Aunty” and when she came out of her bedroom, one of the gunmen discharged six shots at her and hurriedly left the building.

She collapsed on a nearby sofa where her uncle was lying and began bleeding profusely.
Her sibling added that he was at her house to watch the ‘Oprah Show’ on television but he was sitting on the steps when the gunmen came up the stairs, they told him to “get up” because he was blocking their path.
According to him, one of them even assisted him up the steps and he was standing right behind them when they shot and killed his sister.
Fitzroy Fiedtkou said, “I was right there when they murdered my sister and after they killed her I grabbed the arm of one of the youths but he cuffed me in the chest and I collapsed.”
He noted that both the youths, who were no more than 25 years old, were right at the front door of his sister’s house but just asked for her as “Aunty”.  He declared that it was not a robbery because they came to kill her and hurriedly left afterwards.
Holding back tears, Fitzroy Fiedtkou said that his sibling was shot six times, three in the back, one under the arm, and two in the stomach, where she collapsed and died in her own home.
He stated that it was not a family problem but a woman took his sister to court for the property and the case was not over but it was in her (Clementine’s) favour.
The details he could not reveal but noted that the woman, who moved out of his sister’s home a month ago, had threatened the elderly woman after she was asked to leave the home accompanied by her teenage son.
Fitzroy said he had advised his sister to leave her home because her life wasn’t worth it but since the court case wasn’t over, she opted to remain in the home.
Clementine Fiedtkou-Parris is the mother of two children, both of whom reside overseas, but the motive for the killing was clearly not robbery since it was a direct execution.
