KEVIN Ramsawck, 22 years, of Berbice who was picked up on Tuesday night from a house at Middle Walk, Buxton, during investigations into the murder of 39-year-old Samantha Benjamin has reportedly admitted to killing her.The man also indicated to police investigators during interrogation at the Criminal Investigations Department in Georgetown that he was assisted in the murderous act by two other men who are also from Buxton.

Benjamin’s headless and limbless remains were discovered among the boulders at the Annandale foreshore, East Coast Demerara, last week Thursday. When the Atlantic Ocean tide receded the woman’s head, hands and feet were also discovered a short distance away.
The 22-year-old, when further questioned by detectives about why he had committed the act, explained that woman was killed during a robbery bid. He also said that he decided to chop off her head, hands and feet to make it easier in disposing of her remains in a way that police and family members would be unable to find her.
Yesterday the police were also able to recover some of the valuables which belonged to the woman, including her laptop and mobile phone. These items were recovered from a house in Bent Street, Werk-en-Rust but the suitcase with the woman’s clothing has not yet been recovered.
‘C’ Division Commander, Christopher Griffith confirmed to this publication yesterday that the items were being kept by a female friend of Ramsawck. He said the police had received information that the items were at the home and their search there proved that their intelligence was accurate.
The Chronicle was told that the young lady who resides at the home told investigators that the man had brought the items to the home sometime last week. It is not clear if the woman was one of the females who assisted in the removal of the now dead woman’s suitcases with her clothing.
It was confirmed that Samantha Benjamin who was married in 2010 moved out from her matrimonial home and was given permission by her niece in the United States to visit the home at Buxton and take up residence there.

Her niece had given the suspect permission to stay at the home when the family had meat birds and he had responsibility to care the poultry. However, after the birds were all sold out the man remained in the house.
Police investigators indicated also that the woman and the man were strangers to each other when she first moved into the home about a month ago. She had been in Guyana since December 2014.
On Tuesday evening police acting on information swooped down on the house and arrested a Berbician who was taking care of the property after it was realized that he might have had something to do with the murder of the woman.
When the woman’s relatives visited the home after hearing that she may be residing there, they conducted a search of the premises and found extensive bloody trails.
Detectives have concluded that the suspect was assisted by friends in hacking off the woman’s head, hands and feet before dumping her remains at the foreshore.
On Tuesday night when the young man was picked up persons in the area said that he had only moved to the house recently and would be seen playing football, smoking marijuana and riding a motorcycle up and down the street.
They also claimed that on the night before the body was discovered, they heard loud and continuous music emanating from the house amidst the hollering of a female. Ssadly, however, no one took the unusual noise seriously nor was there ever a report made to the police concerning the strange occurrence.
Meanwhile, the suspect has not secured the services of a lawyer and he remains in police custody while investigations are ongoing.
