MAGISTRATE Zamilla Ally-Seepaul has found that there is enough evidence for Colin Alleyne, the man accused of killing elderly Montrose caretaker, Carmen Ganesh, to face a High Court Judge and jury.

The Preliminary Inquiry (PI) concluded on Monday at the Sparendaam Magistrate’s Court after months. Alleyne, 25 of Timehri, East Bank Demerara, is accused of murdering Ganesh on August 1, 2015 at her Montrose, East Coast Demerara home.

The matter was prosecuted by police prosecutor, Ayesha Gibbon. Alleyne had behaved erratically on several occasions during the P.I hearings and would often hurl nasty slangs or refused to be present in court.

Ganesh’s body was found in a pool of blood in the kitchen of the bottom flat of the two-storey house, for which she had been a caretaker for some time.

An autopsy revealed that the elderly woman died as a result of strangulation and brain hemorrhaging, reportedly as a result of the severe beating she received at the hands of the killer.

Fortunately for the police, the entire attack was caught on CCTV cameras in the house. The footage showed the elderly woman being attacked by an unknown male suspect, who was seen continuously beating and strangling the woman throughout what was first described as a robbery.

Alleyne, who went into hiding after a photo of him from the surveillance footage was circulated in the press, was eventually arrested.
