THE police are certain that a male accomplice was also in the home of the slain 55-year-old Donna Taylor one week ago when she was allegedly murdered by her son’s ex-girlfriend. A search has since been launched to find out who that person is.Crime Chief Seelall Persaud, on Thursday, confirmed the police’s conviction that a male had been present and had worked along with the arraigned Guyana Defence Force Private Abiola Jacobs on the night of the crime.

However, Persaud said there is no name or address for the man being sought, and investigators are continuing their work to get whatever information they can in order to effect capture of the man.

Last Friday night, 55-year-old Donna Taylor was found murdered in her backyard with her throat slit and hands bound behind her back. Her visiting friend from the United Kingdom, Samantha Sabat, who was at Taylor’s home at the time of the incident, was also hospitalised after she had jumped through a window to escape a similar fate as her friend’s.

The Guyana Chronicle has learnt that the woman took the drastic measure after the male whom the police are now seeking attempted to break down a bedroom door to get to the woman subsequent to invading the home of the now dead Taylor in the absence of her husband and son.

Speaking with the Guyana Chronicle last week, husband of the dead woman, Bertram Taylor, said he was at work when he received a call from his daughter that his wife had been murdered at their home. The man said he rushed home, only to find his wife lying in the yard with her throat slit and hands tied.

The man who works as a security guard said he was told that persons had heard a noise coming from the house and had telephoned his daughter. His son works with him at the security service.

He told this newspaper that his son had been having a relationship with a female from the village who works in the Guyana Defence Force. According to the man, the female in question is a very aggressive person, and his son was not willing to carry on the relationship with her any longer.

The younger Taylor is said to have had a very good relationship with his mother, and had indicated to her that he was breaking off the relationship with the GDF rank.

The young man had also informed the GDF rank that he was not willing to continue a relationship with her.
The Chronicle was told that the last such message the man had given the young lady saw her falling to her knees and begging the man not to leave her, as she promised to change her ways and review her attitude towards him, but the man was resolute.

The young lady appeared last Wednesday in court charged with the murder of Donna Taylor, but investigations are continuing.
